Peek At Rising Star Ellie Vergura’s Moody Oil Paintings<\/h1>\n\n\n

Although Ellie Vergura<\/a> earned her bachelor\u2019s in studio art from Agnes Scott College down south, it was an art history professor\u2019s lecture on Chicago architecture that really impacted her future: She ended up moving there upon graduation in 2019. Two years later, she was commissioned for a 50-by-60-inch lobby artwork at the Tribune Tower, the office-to-residential conversion of the former headquarters of the city\u2019s leading newspaper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now 27, Vergura is celebrating her first solo exhibition at Jackson Junge Gallery in Wicker Park. Why such success at so young an age, you might ask? She\u2019s found a way to combine her interests into \u201ctimeless\u201d oil paintings that combine impressionism and abstractionism, emitting the romanticized aesthetic of a pencil sketch or vintage postcard. Subjects range from Milan\u2019s Duomo and the Eiffel Tower in Paris to tourists on a London street. The dreamy effect is achieved, Vergura explains, with \u201ca neutral palette, which has an eternal feel.\u201d Fittingly, she\u2019s titled her show \u201cArdor,\u201d as \u201cthe work reflects my passion for architecture and the cities that inspire me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
