Chicago Skyline from Bronzeville | Gyan Samara

Towering clouds roll above Chicago’s skyline, their pale lavender, peach, and yellow edges glowing against an intense blue sky. Painted in oil pastel on birch panel from the rooftop of the artist’s workplace in Bronzeville, this northward view captures the city through the heat of a blazing summer day. Willis Tower rises in deep plum above coral and turquoise buildings, while bright green treetops fill the foreground. Created over two rooftop sessions in temperatures around 95 degrees, the painting carries that afternoon’s fierce light through saturated color and restless, layered marks.

Prints are acid- and lignin-free and made to last.

Room images are illustrative and may not show the artwork at its actual scale. Please review the selected print dimensions, frame, and mat options before ordering. Colors may vary slightly between your screen and the finished print.

Offered as an open edition print, this rooftop cityscape brings Chicago’s architectural energy and the brilliance of a summer sky to a living room, office, or study. Explore Gyan Samara’s original paintings and current studio work at www.gyansamara.com.
