Paul Noble is a British artist, born in 1963 in the village of Dilston, Northumberland. He studied at Humberside College of Higher Education (1983–1986) and Sunderland Polytechnic (1982–1983)[1], before moving to London in 1987.[2] He was one of the five founder members of the co-operative who formed the City Racing gallery in London (1988–98).[3] Noble is most well known as the creator of Nobson Newtown, an ongoing series of drawings of an imaginary surrealist city which Noble has produced since around 1995. In 2000 Noble was the recipient of an award from the Paul Hamlyn Foundation.
In 2004 he had a solo exhibition at the Whitechapel Art Gallery.[4] His work is held in the collections of the Tate[5] and MoMA.[6]
Noble was featured as Skip Hunter alongside Ella Verparajugs (aka Georgina Starr) in the 2004 short film Heart to Heart. The film premiered in Berlin and was nominated for a Bavarian Film Award the same year.[citation needed]
Paul Noble created a new installation for the Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle upon Tyne, in October 2010, inspired by the history of the Gallery building.
