Working in oils, Noble’s artistic practice transcends the conventions of traditional landscape painting, inviting the viewer into a constructed fictional space that encourages a unique interaction with each composition, the subjectivity of each piece allowing the paintings to transform as if they were cloud formations moving across the sky.
The construction of each piece is explored through initial methods of abstraction and a sense of ‘somewhere other’ is represented through a bold palette and varying techniques of careful blending, expressive mark making and scraping back into layers of paint underneath to create a narrative that allows for fluidity between the foreground and background. There is often an omission of a clear structure in the work but, as the composition progresses further, the use of suggestive marks are made in a conscious way to allude to aspects of the natural environment. These familiarities found within the paintings provide a sense of stability and recognition with the world the viewer is accustomed to, while the more abstract formations deliver a sense of escapism, resulting in the paintings being caught somewhere playfully between the two.
