You should look at the work of local artist Dolan Geiman:

He has amazing large scale works using recycled wood. They'll be at the Lakeview East Festival of the Arts later this month.

Two of Chicago's best Art Festivals will be happening that weekend: Old Town Art Fair and the Well's Street Art Festival (within walking distance of each other).
