About this artwork
Concord Place, an odd and unfortunately unmistakable architectural marvel that many Chicagoans recognize and associate with home. This peculiar landmark stands above The Union Pacific Railroad, which was at one time The Galena and Chicago Union Railroad chartered in 1836—the first railroad connecting Chicago to the West.

goods and became a battleground for control. The Concord Place was originally built to be a hotel for O’Hare Intl. Airport and was rumored to be a trial run for inappropriately spending pension funds. This concept worked, and the Mob went west to Las Vegas utilizing this same blueprint.

« "The more you do, the less you wait", my style is constantly evolving with each new piece I create. »
Bumpy Wilson (b. 1995) is a Chicago, based Contemporary Artist who creates highly personal paintings that assert his unique style somewhere between Pop Minimalism and Magical Surrealism. His oeuvre is subtly culled from the art world itself and most notably depicts cows, basketball hoops, and seemingly random objects. Through his art, he is able to evoke puns as art forms, providing a play on words for his ever-expanding discursive material.
