Since naming his album Graffiti in 2009, it's no secret that Chris Brown is a huge fan of art. He shows his passion for art in his music, tattoos and his own actual artwork. Now, the "Loyal" singer is teaming up with designer Ron Bass for an art tour that will create a legacy. They have already kicked off the tour with their first mural in Miami, just outside the House Of Wings restaurant in the Overtown neighborhood.
According to Global Grind, Bass is not accustomed to painting graffiti, but he is learning a lot with Chris.
"I usually paint canvas or abstract objects with acrylic paint. I'm not a graffiti artist," he said. "But Chris has been teaching me about spray painting: Techniques and different caps to use."
Vibe reports, their first mural consists of many faces; characters, colors, and inspiring words that come from the heart and imagination of both artists. The colorful masterpiece had the tagline, "You Are Love" above it and featured monster-like characters that Chris has previously spray-painted. Ron signed the mural with his initials and crown logo while Chris included his initials and "Breezy" nickname.
Bass is known for his customization and painting of biker jackets, bottoms and hats, which have been seen on Jay Z, Beyonce, Swizz Beats and more. With Jean-Michel Basquiat, and the loss of his parents as his inspiration, Bass is working with Chris on projects that will also touch Art Basel, which will take place in early December.
According to The Source, Chris and Trey Songz announced via social media in August that they were going on tour together and have shows at the end of this month in New York and Philadelphia and in Los Angeles in December. Chris has been hitting the road in support of his new album, X, and Trey has been celebrating the success of Trigga, his second consecutive #1 album.
