Rubén Aguirre (b. 1979) is a Chicago based painter with a non-narrative approach to mural painting. His work draws attention to post-industrial infrastructure as a potential substrate. His work is an intersection of abstract graffiti, formalism, and mural painting. With forms inspired by typography, geographical terrain, and the human body, Ruben's compositions organically build a visual language that balances subtlety with boldness. He has exhibited at the Chicago Cultural Center, the Hyde Park Art Center, and has a forthcoming solo exhibition at The National Museum of Mexican Art. His work has been covered by the Atlantic and the Washington Post. Aguirre's large-scale murals have been commissioned by schools, neighborhood development organizations, and commercial clients such as Adidas, Linkedin, Conde Nast, and McGraw Hill.
