Logan Square Chicago Silkscreen Print by Ian Ferguson – Hydeon
The Logan Square Chicago silkscreen print by Ian Ferguson, also known as Hydeon, is a stunning black-and-white hand-pulled, limited-edition print capturing the essence of one of Chicago’s most beloved neighborhoods. Created in 2013, this 16x20-inch silkscreen print is part of Ferguson’s Neighborhood Art Series, a collection that intricately showcases Chicago’s urban fabric through street pop art & graffiti artwork influences. As a signed and numbered limited edition of 35, this artwork highlights Ferguson’s talent in architectural illustration, surreal urban landscapes, and a deep appreciation for community spaces.
Architectural and Natural Elements of Logan Square
Logan Square is known for its historic greystones, boulevards, and cultural landmarks, all of which are woven into Ferguson’s print with exceptional attention to detail. The composition layers Victorian-style houses, churches, and apartment buildings, creating a dense and immersive cityscape. A defining feature is the Illinois Centennial Monument, a prominent obelisk in Logan Square’s center, which Ferguson has included among the layered urban imagery, emphasizing the neighborhood’s historical importance. Beyond its built environment, Logan Square is home to tree-lined streets, green spaces, and an active cycling culture, all of which find their way into Ferguson’s print. The inclusion of a bicycle, natural landscapes, and native birds adds a poetic contrast to the structured cityscape, reinforcing Logan Square’s balance between urban density and nature. Ferguson’s high-contrast, black-and-white illustration style amplifies the depth and complexity of the neighborhood’s visual identity.
Symbolism and Surreal Elements in the Artwork
While the print is deeply rooted in architectural realism, Ferguson’s approach includes surreal elements that push the piece beyond straightforward documentation. The gigantic owl, perched among the buildings, a majestic eagle, and a stylized cat add layers of narrative, making the cityscape feel alive. The inclusion of Chicago’s L train, vintage cars, and iconic signage connects Logan Square’s present-day identity to its rich past, reinforcing the historical evolution of the neighborhood. Ferguson’s use of floating typography spelling out "Logan Square" merges seamlessly into the built environment, making it an integral part of the composition rather than a separate textual element. This technique adds to the dynamic movement of the print, reflecting the energy of Logan Square’s ever-changing artistic and cultural scene.
