Paul Noble's exhibition at Gagosian Gallery includes the immersive drawing ‘Welcome to Nobson’ (2008–10), the penultimate work in Noble’s expansive fifteen-year Nobson project which describes Nobson Newtown, a place composed of labyrinthine edifices and deserted topography embedded with modules of dense detail. These phantasmagorical landscapes allude to sources as diverse as ancient Chinese scrolls, Fabergé eggs, Henry Moore’s sculptures, and paintings by Hieronymus Bosch. The encrypted fictions of Nobson Newtown are
dizzyingly complex—visual articulations of the tensions between disorder, perversion, and logical
schema.
Paul Noble (b. 1963, Dilston, Northumberland) studied at Sunderland Polytechnic and Humberside
College of Higher Education. He was one of five founding members of City Racing, an influential
artists’ space in London (1988–98), where he showed in 1990. Noble’s work has since been
exhibited in London at Cubitt Gallery (1995), Chisenhale Gallery (1998), Tate Gallery (1999), and
Whitechapel Art Gallery (2004). He has also exhibited internationally at the Albright-Knox Art
Gallery, Buffalo, New York (2003); Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam (2005); Migros
Museum, Zurich (2005); and Gagosian Gallery, New York (2007).
Noble lives and works in east London.
