Pedro Igrez, RURAL
June 2, 2025 – June 29, 2025
Jackson Junge Gallery, 1389 N. Milwaukee Ave, Chicago, IL 60622
OPENING RECEPTION: Friday, June 6, 2025 | RSVP Jackson Junge Gallery presents RURAL, a mini exhibition featuring the artwork of Chicago-based artist Pedro Igrez. Known for his mixed media work using found objects and raw materials, Igrez has created an incredible new collection for RURAL that focuses on capturing the spirit of a rural landscape. The series of pieces featured in RURAL were created to invoke feelings of being immersed in the countryside, dwelling in a world where one is surrounded by both immense pastures and golden fields of grains. By adding natural elements to canvases of earth tones, Igrez attempts to recreate the beauty of pastoral poetry into physical form. RURAL provides a moment of peaceful reflection as it gives the viewer space to imagine themselves alone in the expansive, quiet world Igrez has created.
