A mural of Robin Williams was painted on the north exterior of Chicago's Concord Music Hall, in the U.S. state of Illinois, in 2018.[1] The large[2] painting depicts Williams, who was born in Chicago, in black and white,[3] as well as the blue Genie character he voiced in The Walt Disney Company's Aladdin franchise. It was a collaboration between New York street artist Jerkface and New Zealand artist Owen Dippie.[4][5]
The mural was voted runner-up in the Best Mural category of Chicago Reader's 'Best of Chicago' readers' poll.[6] The work's message has been interpreted as one of raising awareness for suicide prevention.[7]
