Linear/Circular Opening Nov. 23 at Noyes



“Linear/Circular” features three artists, Robert Agne, Linda Emmerman and Dave Ford (egg sculpture photo above), whose intentions and techniques are quite dissimilar, but whose works find a commonality in the use of straight and circular patterns of line.

 The exhibit at Noyes Cultural Arts Center, 927 Noyes St., Evanston, runs from November 19 to December 30, with a reception for the artists on Sunday, November 23, from 3 – 5 pm.


From the City of Evanston:



The Noyes Cultural Arts Center Gallery’s next exhibition, LINEAR/CIRCULAR, featuring the art of Robert Agne, Linda Emmerman, and Dave Ford, opens on Wednesday, November 19. An artists’ reception, which is free and open to the public, will be held on Sunday, November 23 from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Gallery. The Gallery is located in the Noyes Cultural Arts Center, 927 Noyes St. in Evanston.

“LINEAR/CIRCULAR” features three artists whose intentions and techniques are quite dissimilar, but whose works find a commonality in the use of straight and circular patterns of line.

Robert Agne’s painting on board builds a logical, mathematical approach to the urban landscape. He grasps the essence of anonymity of city life. He creates personal map-like documents of impressive scale filled with luminous structural networks.

Linda Emmerman uses the indelibleness of india ink on paper with untraditional drawing tools such as string, screws and paper clips. She employs layering, multiplicity, varied repetitions and concentric designs to finally resemble complex structures in nature.

Dave Ford creates Truck Drawing on large scale paper. He drives a 12′ truck with 100 graphite-tipped water bottle pendulums dancing above the paper lined truck bed. The burst patterns flow with the rhythm of travel. He also uses imaginative line and mixed media to create unique smaller artwork.
