The Graffiti Fairy , Zor Zor Zor (2021): 3410 N. Paulina St. | "I call this my 'Graffiti Fairy.“当我想到我们这些写东西的人是多么的匿名时,我产生了这个想法. 我们的名字和涂鸦似乎只出现在街道杆、箱子、垃圾箱和公交长椅上. I wanted to create a lighter vision of what we can be perceived as; these magical beings leaving little gifts for passersby to witness and enjoy. 魔杖一挥,无论我们走到哪里,都会留下一点我们的精神."
The Bunny, Zor Zor Zor (2021): 3410 N. Paulina St. | "As a kid, I grew up with my dad raising rabbits. 不仅仅是一两只可爱的小宠物,在春夏季节,一次大概有20到30只. I loved them and spent a lot of time playing with them, watching them graze, naming them and drawing pictures of them. Today I still have a strong connection to the rabbit. How soft and delicate they can be, yet fast and untouchable. So very calm but quick, munching on greens all day. Like people, 它们生活在自己的世界里,在人类的荒野中生存下来,保持着自己的甜蜜和魅力."
The Face, Zor Zor Zor (2021): 3410 N. Ashland Ave. | "When I first began to develop my style, 我喜欢把不同的形状和设计拼在一起,创造出这些面具般的角色. Many of my paintings are just in black and white; the stark contrast is incredibly pleasing to my eye. 这个角色戴着一顶无檐便帽,留着长发,但不一定是男孩或女孩. They are whatever energy you feel from it. 这些红色的圆点是漂浮在这个角色的世界里的思想泡泡."
Impossible Geometry, Kate Lewis (2021): 3410 N. Southport Ave | 这些不可能的形式的灵感来自于MC Escher等创意人士的作品, Oscar Reutersvard, 还有一些艺术家被数学和我们对形状和形式的视觉操控和理解所感动. 这些独立设计的目的是呈现一个场景,提示观众发现为什么形状不可能以3D形式存在. This activates our imaginations, and allows us to see things as “possible,” if we can see them from a slightly different perspective.
Untitled, 安东尼奥·贝尼奎斯(2020)| Lake View高中毕业生,克里·伍德基金会的导师, 湖景社区一直是贝尼克斯生活的重要组成部分. 他创作这幅壁画的灵感来自于对他影响最大的元素, as a kid, from being in the neighborhood. The black and red school colors, which represent his pride for his time at LV High School, 以简洁而大胆的设计特点加上自己独特的风格, were crucial features in deciding the direction of the mural.
Blossoming, Sharon Dowell (2020): 3409 N. 莎伦·道尔认为,创造性的场所创造可以传达独特性,并在社区间建立联系. Intertwining themes course through her work; the energy of place, transition and temporality. Shifting facets and planes overlapping; what was there before and what is yet to come that we cannot anticipate. The repeating happening in spaces leaving imprints of memories and energies; the idea that one could peel back or cut a hole in this dimension and walk into a past, future or another current dimension we cannot see. 道尔说,这幅壁画中的女人反映了身体是一种容器的想法, a sanctuary, and a healing transition or blossoming. 它还表达了一种希望,所有共同生活在繁华的芝加哥的人都将充分发挥他们的潜力.
Bears on Parade, Felix Maldonado (2020): 3409 N. Ashland Ave | In the mid-18th century, 湖景地区曾被用作迈阿密人的营地和小径, Ottawa and Winnebago Native American tribes. 它也是野生动物重要的迁徙路径——马尔多纳多的概念向这段历史致敬. The background, painted in a two-tone blue, represents sky and water, 而大量的熊和幼崽被涂成单色的红色,代表生命和地球. Combined, this concept draws a clever nod, not only to the flag of Chicago, but to some of Chicago's favorite sports teams.
Chicago Pride, JC Rivera (2020): 3410 N. 芝加哥骄傲壁画是由著名的芝加哥艺术家JC Rivera创作的, 谁可能是最著名的标志性角色“熊冠军”. 旁观者可以从Paulina Brown Line站的平台上看到这幅壁画, 在芝加哥国旗的背景下,他们将看到贝尔·查姆普的多个版本. 在芝加哥各地的公共艺术作品中都可以看到熊冠军的形象, 同时也是里韦拉作品中创造性和趣味性的代表.
Urbs in Horto, Louise "Ouizi" Jones (2019): 3637 N. 南港大道位于南港走廊中心,距离箭牌球场仅几个街区, Horto的Urbs是一幅大胆的新壁画,在设计中融合了在中西部发现的五颜六色的花朵. Created by renowned Detroit-based artist Louise "Ouizi" Jones, 这件艺术品的名字来自于芝加哥的官方座右铭, which means "City in a Garden." Ouizi说,用简单明了的方式描绘芝加哥的格言,并使用特定的花朵来纪念这座城市与自然的亲密关系:“菊花是芝加哥的官方花, so they are featured most prominently in the mural. Roses are universally recognizable and loved, but they were also Anne Hewlett Fuller's favorite, 以及芝加哥著名建筑师和设计师巴克敏斯特·富勒(Buckminster Fuller)在求爱时送给她的鲜花. 紫锥菊和草原草都生长在芝加哥的野外, a nod to the abundance of beautiful wild foliage in Illinois."
This Is Lakeview, Lauren Asta (2018): 3411 N. Paulina St |“创作公共艺术品可以让我在视觉上刺激观众,并让我的角色们做他们最擅长的事:对人类体验的幽默.劳伦·阿斯塔(Lauren Asta)是一名旅行壁画家和艺术家,2016年她离开旧金山的大本营,跟随她的画笔. 她擅长插画、涂鸦艺术、街头艺术和壁画. 她的壁画都是手绘的,没有任何草图,投影仪,或描出轮廓. She works completely freehand. “我想让社区为属于他们的积极的东西感到自豪. To have it be a constant reminder to be bold, to flex the hustle, 并希望有创造东西的欲望——或大或小."
Flight Patterns, Chris Silva & Yollocalli Arts Reach (2018): 3411 N. Paulina St |克里斯·席尔瓦的创意追求深深植根于芝加哥的街头艺术场景, 他的艺术之旅就在湖景附近开始了. 克里斯在芝加哥早期的涂鸦和滑板场景中是一个创新的人物,从那个基础上,他继续在现在通常被称为“街头艺术”的发展中发挥重要作用." Yollocalli Arts Reach是墨西哥国家艺术博物馆的青年项目. For over 20 years, Yollocalli Arts Reach为芝加哥成千上万的青少年和年轻人提供了非正式的学习空间, winning numerous awards for innovative, youth-centered arts programming.
Lake View, Anthony Lewellen (2017): 3241 N. Lincoln Ave | This iconic 4,000平方英尺的壁画庆祝湖景在一个十字路口,历史上一直是社区的地理中心. Artist Anthony Lewellen was raised in Lakeview, 曾就读于湖景高中,几十年来一直是芝加哥艺术圈的杰出人物, 他的设计灵感来自他曾经称之为家的地方. 卢埃林说,湖景镇的中心女性形象代表了这个社区本身:“她的头发, flowing like waves, 高耸于周围的树木和建筑物之上,在她反射的目光中, we see the horizon clear, blue, open and full of possibilities."










Past installations
Year Round, Mauricio Ramirez (2020-2021): 3406 N. Ashland Ave | A Chicago native, Mauricio Ramirez, 讲述了季节如何影响整个城市的活动. 在整个壁画中,你可以看到颜色的季节是如何有趣地相互作用的. 这种嬉戏提醒拉米雷斯,由于全球变暖以及我们对环境的影响,气候是多么不稳定. 拉米雷斯笔下的人物源于他的墨西哥裔美国人血统. In the summer, 在拉丁美洲,女性通常会穿刺绣的上衣,头上戴上花朵装饰. 它是温暖气候的标志,代表着芝加哥的夏季.

Untitled, Caroline Liu (2018-2019): 3410 N. Southport Ave. 艺术家Caroline Liu在创作这个展览时取材于她自己的个人经历. In 2012, 一扇厚实的木门笔直地砸在刘的头上,她的短期记忆再也没有完全恢复. 刘的工作变成了一种保持记忆的治疗实践,否则她就会忘记, 同时也是一种自我探索的工具,记录了她作为一个失去了无法挽回的记忆的人每天的挣扎. Her current body of work focuses on her body, self, and mind with overlying themes of vulnerability and loss. Through her usage of repetitious colors and patterns, 刘亦菲掩饰并暴露了自己身份的许多方面.
Southport Style, Sentrock (2017-2018): 3410 N. 这个展览是由著名的当地街头艺术家约瑟夫·佩雷斯创作的, who goes by the name Sentrock. Originally from Phoenix, AZ, 为了追求风景的改变,森特罗克搬到了芝加哥,并获得了艺术学士学位 & Design at Columbia College.
