Lake View

LAKE VIEW by Anthony Lewellen is an iconic 4,00 square-foot mural that celebrates Lakeview at an intersection that has historically served as the geographical center of the neighborhood. According to Lewellen, who grew up in Lakeview and has been a prominent figure in the Chicago arts community for decades, the artwork presents a visual metaphor that embodies the area's namesake and simultaneously plays with the notion of personification. "The central female figure, her hair flowing like waves, towers above the surrounding trees and buildings and in her reflected gaze, we see the horizon clear, blue, open and full of possibilities."
