10 Chicago Artists To Look Out For In 2023

CHECK OUT OUR NEW LIST FOR 2024
Last year a variety of Chicago artists pushed the boundaries within their individual styles. They didn’t just create better art, they made stronger business decisions. Due to having an amazing 2022, here’s a list of artists we feel will be having a powerful 2023.
Ocar Joyo
Malawian born, Chicago based artist Oscar Joyo went from being local curated to nationally known. It's no coincidence because his work ethic, upbeat nature and creativity is unparalleled. Over the past few years he's made leaps and bounds in his creative career.
Jason Farley
In the Summer of 2022, Pilsen based artist Jason Farley began a stunning new series of work that blended portraiture with surrealism. He's since been evolving his jaw-dropping new collection on a monthly basis to an eager list of collectors. Stay updated by following the artists instagram.
Arthur J. Williams Jr.
Chicago south-side native, Arthur J. Williams Jr. has one of the greatest comeback stories of all time. After spending years in jail for counterfeiting millions of dollars, he became reborn as an artist in 2015. Since his release, he's elevated his craft and relentlessly worked year after year.
In 2021-22 Arthur began displaying a series of multi-dimension pieces resembling crumpled hundred dollar bills. The series has been a hit among art investors, particularly those in the financial industry. Stay tuned as the artist plans for a solo show in the heart of downtown Chicago this summer.
Van Dam One

Danny J. Martinez aka Van Dam One fuses together contemporary subjects that highlight both a universal and individual understanding of the world. His work is both thought provoking and boundless in nature. Most of his original work is still in an approachable price (under $2k) but that may not last. We see nothing but a bright future for him.
Adonte Clark
Adonte Clark, an advocate for mental health, recently gave a lecture at the M.C.A. on Black Creativity. His style features hand painted double exposure creations on canvas that beautifully highlight the subconscious mind.
Rawooh
Currently known as the one of the top Chicago muralists, Rawooh spent 2022 collaborating with brands like Sofitel Hotel, Home Run Inn and many others. His often dark but inspiring portraits have graced the city of Chicago and the artist doesn't appear to be slowing down any time soon. Keep a close watch as he elevates in 2023.
Emmy Star Brown
Chicago artist Emmy Star Brown finished 2022 off with her largest mural to date. A 200' x 36' visual landmark for the inner Chicago suburb of Lincolnwood. Each year we've witnessed the progression of her work both indoors and out.
Jenny Vyas
Artist Replete has been following this Chicago muralist for sometime now and her style just keeps evolving. Over the past few years, we’ve seen her drift out of her a signature monochrome style into vivid colorful imagery. In May of 2022, the Thompson Hotel in Gold Coast purchased print work by Vyas for every single guest room.
Samantha DeCarlo
Samantha DeCarlo's newest series, inspired heavily by nature, blends a bright landscape of flora and fauna. Painted mostly in oil, after transitioning from acrylic during the pandemic, DeCarlo took it upon herself to create work so detailed that it doesn't ask for attention, it demands it.
Roger J. Carter
If you haven't heard of Roger J. Carter yet, then you're missing out. The artist bursted on to the scene in 2020 during the pandemic with a series of work as an artistic form of protest. In March of 2023, the artist attended South by Southwest film festival for a featured documentary on his voyage into art. Roger's work is permanently on view at Pilsen Yards among many other high traffic areas.

I’m Gina Kelleher, a 42‑year‑old marketing consultant in Toronto, and I’ve always been the type to research every decision down to the smallest detail. When it came to crypto, I moved at a snail’s pace: years spent gauging trends, making tiny trades, and monitoring the market minute by minute. By December 2024, I finally felt ready. I consolidated everything, $625,000 in Bitcoin onto CBEX.cx, a platform that checked every box.
One late February morning, I tried to log in and the site had simply vanished. No maintenance notice. No downtime alert. Just… gone. Initially, I chalked it up to an outage. But as hours stretched into days, the reality hit: CBEX.cx had crashed or worse, disappeared with millions of dollars in user funds. Online forums exploded with panic, and whispers of an exit scam circulated without confirmation. I was paralyzed. I immediately contacted lawyers, filed complaints, even reached out to other exchanges, but every lead fizzled out. “Crypto’s risky,” they told me. I refused to accept that as my final answer.
Then I found Morphohack Cyber, a digital forensics team with a reputation for crypto recovery. I was wary, how many times had I heard empty promises? But Morphohack’s transparency stood out. They laid out their methods clearly and outlined realistic expectations.
Within hours, they were deep in my case: tracing transaction trails, analyzing mixer patterns, and infiltrating shadow exchanges. Three days later, the call came: they’d located every Bitcoin.
By the first week of March, my full $625,000 worth of bitcoins had been restored to my wallet.
I’m more vigilant than ever now and deeply aware of crypto’s pitfalls. But thanks to Morphohack Cyber, I’ve also learned that help exists and sometimes, hope does too. If you’re facing a similar nightmare, don’t give up. Contact Morphohack via Morphohack@cyberservices. com

CRYPTOCURRENCY TRACKING & RECOVERY SERVICES-WEB BAILIFF CONTRACTOR
I narrowly escaped losing $235,000 of my retirement savings to a self-styled broker I had met on LinkedIn. This individual guaranteed me a whopping 35% rate of return on each investment, bonuses included. I was desperate financially at the time and thought this was a ray of hope. I was eager to make my money work and invested hastily without being aware of any of the dangers. I was unaware that I was handing over my money to a person with ill intentions, a person who was plotting to scam me out of my investment. At the beginning, all was well. I was receiving some early “profits,” which were highly encouraging and served to strengthen my confidence in investing with him. Then, all went terribly wrong. When I tried to get my money out, the broker began to make excuses. He informed me that there were additional fees to be paid if I wanted to withdraw my capital and earnings. The more I withdrew, the more hoop jumping I needed to do. That is when I understood that I had been taken for a ride. The broker was not interested in growing my wealth; he was only interested in making money from my money and trust. I was panicked, and I urgently needed to get my money back. I started searching on the internet for any reliable option through which I could get my money back. It was on the internet that I found Web Bailiff Contractor, which was a fund recovery company with good reviews. I was doubtful initially, having read about a large number of recovery companies that purport to be genuine. Nonetheless, these companies always turn out to scam the additional victims. On my own research and reading more positive reviews of real people, I went ahead and got in touch with Web Bailiff Contractor, and to my greatest pleasant surprise, they accepted my case immediately and assured me that they would do everything they could to recover my money. The most compelling characteristic was their transparency; there were no upfront fees, and they explained each and every detail clearly.
