Sunset Over Oak Street Inspired by Lichtenstein

The Oak Street Business Council asked us to play a part in their First Annual Summer Block Party by creating a grand sidewalk chalk mural. A team from Nancy Pochis Bank Art Studio drew inspiration from Roy Lichtenstein’s Ben-Day dots and vibrant colors to create a compelling Chicago skyline. The mural is located in front of the Barney’s New York at Oak St. and Rush St., so check it out before rain hits! Much thanks to Amanda Paulson, Nikki Bank, and summer intern Mehr for their help with this project.

PS: Check out the Roy Lichtenstein retrospective exhibit at The Art Institute of Chicago until September 3rd! Information here.

Chicago Public Artwork Goes International

In the summer of 2007, “Cool Globes: Hot Ideas for a Cooler Planet” was launched in Chicago. Nancy Pochis Bank was among an international group of artists selected by the jury to design and create a globe to be displayed in the lakefront exhibit.

Since the start of the "Cool Globes" project, Nancy has created four 5’ globes that have been exhibited across the United States and internationally.

“Cool Globes: Hot Ideas for a Cooler Planet” is a non-profit organization established to raise awareness of climate change and inspire individuals and community leaders to embrace solutions. The public art exhibit features larger-than-life globes, each designed to depict a solution to global warming.
