Chicago

In her Chicago cityscape paintings, Heather Nagy skillfully captures the mesmerizing interplay of night lights that bring color and life to the skyline, landmarks, and bridges along the Chicago River. Using acrylic on canvas with a magenta under wash, Nagy employs a vibrant modern Impressionism style to depict the bustling energy and architectural grandeur of Chicago after dark. Her artworks illuminate the iconic skyscrapers punctuating the skyline, with reflections shimmering on the river's surface and bridges spanning the waterway. Through dynamic brushstrokes and a rich palette of colors, Nagy's compositions vividly portray the vibrant cityscape, showcasing how the nocturnal illumination enhances the urban landscape's charm and visual appeal.
