Ardor: Ellie Vergura

The Jackson Junge Gallery is proud to present ARDOR, an exhibition featuring the paintings of in-house artist Ellie Vergura. Vergura favors simplicity and a neutral palette. Revisiting iconic architecture and grandiose scenes with a “less is more” approach, she distills the essence of ornamentation and passersby in silhouette. Vergura is influenced by her great-grandmother’s 1920s fashion illustrations and draws regularly on such imagery in sketches and when planning her figures. This exhibition will feature paintings inspired by her home Chicago and her most recent city visited, London. Vergura intimately captures the nostalgia of a single moment, along with each space’s tremendous history.
