Lincoln Park Art Night is back!
Thursday, November 6, 2025
5:30 - 8:30 PM
DePaul Art Museum, gallery 1871, Madron Gallery, Art on Sedgwick, and Leslie Wolfe Gallery, are participating in the fourth annual Lincoln Park Art Night. Five unique art locations have banded together to celebrate their Lincoln Park neighborhood and promote a destination for art lovers that is too-frequently overlooked. The event is FREE and open to all. Luxury sprinter vans will circulate the neighborhood offering hop-on/hop-off service for three hours on Thursday, November 6th from 5:30 - 8:30 PM. Riders may start and stop at any of the five participating locations.
Gerald Coarding (1911–1986), Untitled Figure with Eyes, oil on canvasboard, 16 x 11 3/4 in.
Coarding referred to his own works as “abstract symbolism,” often incorporating fragmented, totem-like figures that evoke forms inspired by ancient Egyptian styles, Navajo sand paintings, and Assyrian bas-reliefs, which he encountered at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. While Untitled Figure with Eyes exemplifies this blend of modern abstraction with ancient symbolism, it’s less rigid than Coarding’s other works, presenting a biomorphic creature untethered in space.
Madron Gallery’s in-house press publishes high-quality art books that focus on the lives and works of influential, lesser-known modern artists, particularly those with a connection to Chicago.
