Born and raised on the South Side, Tony Fitzpatrick is a prolific artist whose work ethic and oeuvre are both quintessentially Chicago. This exhibition comprises some 60 pieces from his decade-long series The Wonder: Portraits of a Remembered City, an exploration of Chicago folklore and a tribute to the artist's late father, rendered in incredibly detailed illustrations juxtaposed with found images from ads, matchbooks, and baseball cards. Coinciding with the publication of the third and final installment of The Wonder's accompanying book series, Fitzpatrick's new exhibition represents an end of an era for the artist, whose new works focus on New Orleans.
