With Brushes & Balls we put LOVE in Basketball.
In a world where we're encouraged to see our differences, sport and art guide us towards finding common ground for a common bond using our common sense, LOVE.
Transforming an NBA court into a masterpiece.
In 1977, famed pop artist Robert Indiana used a basketball floor as the canvas for the World's Largest Pop Art Painting. Unifying seemingly opposite worlds in an iconic way, Indiana manufactured a masterwork that transcends time.
The World’s Largest Pop Art Painting is an iconic NBA Court.
Amid skepticism and controversy, the MECCA Floor became a beacon of light for Milwaukee to illuminate itself as a forward thinking and art conscious city while ushering in a golden age of basketball dominance.

The HOME COURT design is a homage to Robert Indiana, whose MECCA Floor brought together the seemingly opposite worlds of sport and art in an iconic way.
Bob’s genius was his ability to convey a deeper message by using the combination of vibrant colour, geometrical patterns and symbolic words. HOME COURT was crafted with the same attention to metaphorical detail:
“Polar opposites unite through a full-spectrum of colour allowing One to Hear the Art at the Heart of Earth birthed from the Seed of Life within an adinkra symbol’s House of Peace.”
