Word Collage
Nathan Brown
Spent a few days in Bridgeport, CT creating a wild word collage freestyle for The Knowlton in their mural park. I wish every city had a space like this for artists and creatives alike. If you're ever in the area, it's definitely worth stopping by.
I created this piece on the fly, using over 50 words and positive phrases contributed by The Knowlton crew!
Originally from Los Angeles, Nathan relocated to Nashville when he was 11 years old and endured a major culture shock. Embracing the transition between cities through skateboarding, painting graffiti and exploring new territories through traveling for skating as a sponsored am, also motivated Nathan artistically. In the late 90’s he drew inspiration from skateboarding travels, painting graffiti, gradient color palettes in nature, city life and structural lines in architecture, which he eventually transitioned into the studio and on buildings across the U.S. and Europe.
Having now produced over 70 large scale commissioned murals for both communities around the country, as well as for brands such as Red Bull, Wrangler, Patagonia, Top Golf, WeWork, Google, Spotify and more, the goal has always been the same since day one, to bring people, places and communities together through public visual art, transforming and creating new spaces where there were none before.
He primarily paints large scale public art on the the streets, as well as indoor private commissions and is currently based in Chattanooga, TN.
