“Flyboy,” a creation of Hebru Brantley, found a new home within the Art Studio space at the Chicago Children’s Museum at Navy Pier.
Numerous visages of Flyboy in flight don the walls within the studio and Kirby’s Clubhouse sits right outside the studio doors. Scaled just for children, the space and studio offer inspiration and supplies to make, tell and display their own stories within it. Bold colors, large-scale two-dimensional art featuring Flyboy, 3D clouds, vintage toys and playful objects are embedded in the structure to offer a sense of nostalgia for the older set.
Brantley said thinking about Nevermore’s effect on youth — watching kids experience joy, talking with Chicago Public School arts teachers and receiving images from kids after going through it — was a reason to create an extension of Flyboy at Navy Pier. He said it just “felt right.” Thad Wong, a fan of Brantley’s work, said the idea of a Flyboy statue was a seed planted years ago. And everything came full circle as a board member.
