Plein Air Oil Paintings of Chicago Architecture, Parks, and Landmarks by Luna Prysiazhniuk

Luna Prysiazhniuk creates sharp oil renderings of Chicago architectural scenes in plein air. The Ukrainian architecture student views the paintings as an alternative mode of thinking about the architecture that surrounds her, and uses it as a way to work through new projects and conceptual designs for her classes. In the paintings you can spot an icy Chicago River beneath a lifted bridge, scenes from above and below the elevated train platform, and iconic buildings seen through the openings of crowded city streets. Each painting is layered with colorful and dynamic reflections that fill large pane windows and slick pavement. You can follow her oil paintings within and beyond Chicago on Instagram.
