Jeff Zimmermann: the God Particle December 20, 2010

A native of Chicago, Jeff Zimmermann has achieved national and international recognition for his large scale murals featuring painted images of contemporary pop culture and sensitively rendered portraits. Zimmermann familiarizes himself with the communities he visits and incorporates into his murals what he calls real people - a diversity of community members living and working in the area and faces not necessarily known from media, history, or politics. Throughout October, during Chicago Artists' Month, Zimmermann will be publicly painting a new mural in the Michigan Avenue Galleries of the Chicago Cultural Center.
