Description: 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, and which was exhibited in its entirety at the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam, in 2014. Exhibition: Gagosian Gallery, San Francisco, USA (02.11.-16.12.2017).
Notes: Catalog of an exhibition held at Gagosian, San Francisco, California, November 2-December 16, 2017.
