BY KAIZAAD KOTWAL
For The Columbus Dispatch
Did anyone notice the sparrow?
The pen-and-ink drawings of Marc Lincewicz are small and simple, evocative and enigmatic. The Cleveland native and 1992 graduate of the Columbus College of Art & Design is a creative art director for Nationwide Insurance.
His exhibit at the Sharon Weiss Gallery is a selection of small, intimate pieces all created with careful line work and meticulous crosshatching (a system of shading a drawing with sets of parallel lines that cross one another).
Depending on what the narrative requires, sometimes the "crosshatch is loose and sloppy, and at others it is much more meticulous," Lincewicz said. Sometimes his techniques resemble the layered line work found in etchings and printmaking -- if accidentally, the artist said.
He describes his pieces as "visual metaphors for personal experiences."
The notion of home figures frequently in his works -- Patience and Understanding, for example -- as do birds and human figures. Lincewicz reduces objects to their minimalist core, focusing on the essence of things rather than on representation.
The humans are particularly evocative -- abstract, elongated and kinetic in their line and rhythms, as withTango or The Dance on Red.
"Aesthetically, I like to exaggerate the form," Lincewicz said, "where style is the issue, not something literal."
He added that his "figures are heavily influenced by Alberto Giacometti, whose sculptures have a quietness about them."
Lincewicz's works, too, have that quiet quality, yet they are packed with moods and metaphors.

"Art sizzles at Sharon Weiss Gallery"
By Liz James
Short North Gazette
October 2006
Marc Lincewicz creates mysterious, somewhat peculiar, drawings in pen and ink. They're attractive, original and appealing, and fall somewhere between design and abstractionism. In a sense, they are line drawings, slightly fleshed out. Yet, Lincewicz's hallmark, his narraw sculptural stick figure people have not only been rendered in lines, but they consist of lines and marks and so do their backgrounds. The artist uses blacks, reds, browns and whites for his smallish works which are well-framed, decorative in the best sense of that word. Backgrounds have been created with a myriad of fine strokes. Lincewicz is not only talented, he is dedicated.
A piece with two sidelong figures conversing has been entitled "Kindness Can Be Tenuous". The two humans depicted are barely touching hands. (But they want to!) Their universe is a complex flurry of pen marks.
In another Lincewicz, "Roaming", a multitude of tiny line guys (10 or 15 of them) pose against a solid red background, like groupies. Again, their minute gestures suggest alienation yet the possibility of connection.
Lincewicz moved here from Cleveland 18 years ago to study at Columbus College of Art and Design (CCAD), where he says he had the good fortune to study with Lowell Tolstedt and Walter King, both of whom taught him to develop "a personal, independent voice."
