Final days for solo exhibition of Chicago painter, Jonathan Ralston

“Ruins at Tulum,” oil on canvas, 2019, by Jonathan Ralston

Our current exhibit, Jonathan Ralston: Shadows and Enlightenment, enters its final, triumphant week in the gallery.

Following the close of the exhibition on Saturday, many of these exquisite landmark paintings will enter private collections around the country – making this week the last opportunity for the public to view the full array of Ralston’s exquisitely detailed oil paintings, portraying architectural masterpieces from bygone civilizations.

20 North Gallery is open Wednesday – Saturday, from Noon – 4 p.m.
The work may also be viewed by private appointment; contact 20 North Gallery to schedule.

“Palazzo Barberini, The Borromini Stairs,” oil on panel, 2021, by Jonathan Ralston

Not only masterful studies of light and form, Ralston’s paintings are also haunting allegories of the human spirit, as conveyed through the grand spaces we have built. Painted in oil on canvas, linen and panel, Ralston further captures the depth and feeling of inhabiting and traversing these architectural spaces through a variety of small to large-scale scale works, some reaching up to 5 feet in width or height.
