54th Cermak Station
Nicole Gordon's painting on ceramic tiles (2004) at the 54th/Cermak subway station was commissioned by Chicago's Arts in Transit program.
This painting depicts a tapestry in which Cicero’s rich cultural history and diversity unfolds. The area is historically noted as a working class community composed primarily of immigrants that have strived to establish themselves and realize the American dream. Some of the town’s most important streets and landmarks provide a structural element upon which the narrative unfolds.
