About Chance The Rapper
Hailed as “a generational voice” by GQ and “an outstanding role model” by President Barack Obama, Chicago-born multi-Grammy award winner Chance the Rapper has built a multi-faceted career, redefining what it means to be an independent artist. Chance is carefully curating all aspects of his interdisciplinary Star Line project, from the mixtape to the visual-driven companion, Star Line Gallery. This unique project seamlessly blends the realms of fine art, music, and cinematography, presenting a collection of collaborative works with esteemed fine artists from The Continent and The Diaspora. Chance directs all the music videos, creating surreal, immersive visual landscapes. The resulting pieces redefine the notion of ‘album art’ and are compelling conversations and meditations on Black life. Key works include “The Last Stair” (collaboration with Chicago-born, Florence-based painter Thelonious Stokes), “Child of God” (collaboration with Gabonese artist and painter Naïla Opiangah), “A Bar About A Bar” (collaboration with Chicago-based painter Nikko Washington and filmmaker Troy Gueno), “The Highs & The Lows” feat. Joey Bada$$ (collaboration with Gabonese photographer Yannis Davy Guibinga), and “YAH Know” (collaboration with Chicago-based visual artist Mía Lee.) These works have been showcased globally at renowned venues such as Art Basel, Expo Chicago, Chicago’s Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA), The Art Institute of Chicago, and Los Angeles’ Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA). Other notable pieces include “Stars Out” and “Together” (produced by DJ Premier, with artwork by Chicago graffiti legend Slang).
