LA-born artist MADSTEEZ unveils new basketball murals located in Brooklyn’s Park Slope Playground in New York City. Made in collaboration with Electronic Arts’ NBA LIVE franchise, the sprawling public artwork features a vivid composition boasting the artist’s signature saturated palette. The full court piece portrays colorful hands reaching for a basketball while the half-court artwork depicts wild brushstrokes and blotches for an abstract aesthetic.

View both murals in the slideshow above and then head to MADSTEEZ’s website to view more projects.
