(Stone Ridge, NY) - The North River Electric House is pleased to present works on paper by Lynne Tobin. The exhibition opens Thursday, July 17, during Upstate Art Weekend, with a reception for the artist, Friday, July 18 from 5:00 - 8:00 and runs through September 13, 2025. Lynne Tobin's solo exhibition, Line Studies, challenges the traditional boundaries between drawing, textile arts, and installation. With threads and rope saturated in black ink, Tobin creates sculptural forms and spaces on the two dimensions of white paper, deftly balancing on the cusp of controlled execution and unrestrained creativity. Drawing inspiration from simple materials, everyday rituals, and meditation practice, Tobin’s black-and-white drawings explore rhythm and movement while evoking a sense of stillness and contemplative intimacy. A version of this special solo exhibition was recently in Venice, Italy, during the 60th Venice Biennale.

About the Artist: Lynne Tobin is a mixed-media artist living and working in the Hudson Valley, New York. Her art practice explores the language of drawing through the use of thread, string, and ink, producing both large-scale and intimate works on paper. Tobin’s abstract ink drawings have been in exhibitions throughout the Northeastern United States, and in 2024, her Line Studies were recently presented in a solo show in Venice, Italy.

About North River Electric House: 

A beautiful demonstration of carbon-neutral living, Electric House is a regional hub for community gatherings, coworking, public and private events, and education. The space was thoughtfully designed and built by North River, an architecture and design-build firm leading the push for all-electric, net-zero living in the Hudson Valley.
