2006 - "Milennium Park "

Image Area  10” x 14 7/8”

Milennium Park, located in Downtown Chicago, beside the Art Institute is a place that every person must visit at least once in their lives.  The surreal structures of Crown Fountain are mesmerizing and the reflecting pool is balanced by two 50 foot glass monoliths created by Spanish sculptor Juame Plensa.   There are 1,000 human faces that are projected on these towers that were taken by the students of the Chicago Art Institute.  The images slowly blink, make facial expressions and gush a 30 foot stream of water from their mouths.   Crown Fountain is a profound experience and an awe inspiring work of Art.

This painting was created from photographs taken by the Artist.
