Circular Logic
Advertisement
Gallery 40 is pleased to present Circular Logic, a solo exhibition by Emily Nomer opening on October 17, 2026 and continuing through November 29. The exhibition brings together a new body of patterned artworks that explore repetition, rhythm, and the intricate systems that shape both natural and human-made environments.
Through meticulously constructed compositions, Circular Logic investigates the relationship between order and complexity. Repeating motifs, geometric structures, and evolving patterns serve as visual metaphors for cycles of thought, behavior, and connection. The works invite viewers to consider how meaning emerges through repetition and how seemingly simple forms can generate unexpected depth and movement.
Drawing inspiration from architecture, textiles, and organic growth systems, Emily creates immersive visual fields that oscillate between precision and intuition. Each piece functions as both a self-contained structure and part of a larger conversation about interconnectedness, perception, and the ways we navigate recurring patterns in daily life.
Through layered surfaces, intricate mark-making, and dynamic visual rhythms, the artworks encourage prolonged looking and contemplation.
Opening reception: Saturday October 17, 5-7pm. The artist will be present.

About the Artist
Emily Nomer spent her career in the design business, designing and manufacturing one-of-a-kind furniture for some of the country’s leading architects and designers. But she has always been a visual artist, and has spent far longer painting her own visions. Structure and geometry are the basis of her colorful, crowded compositions, which have been featured in the windows of Tiffany & Co.’s flagship Fifth Avenue store, used by SONY USA in a product promotions, and turned into a textile by a major design industry company. She holds a BA from Vassar College in Classical Greek and an MA in the same from the University of London which she attended on a Maguire Fellowship. In 2018 she completed an MFA in Painting and Drawing from the State University of New York at New Paltz.
