Paul Noble - New Works

A meticulous visionary, Noble builds encrypted visual universes. Using language as image, and images as a grammatical system of signs, he shows the malleability of all forms of syntax, a legible schema of interlocking words, drawings, and objects. Noble's art presents a reality that appears recognizably of our world-but is not. His immersive realms seem to live on beyond their immediate visual impression-as in the vast, twenty-year project, Nobson Newtown, an imagined environment for which he was nominated for the Turner Prize in 2012.
