British artist Paul Noble (b. 1963, Northumberland) attended Sunderland Polytechnic and Humberside College of Higher Education before moving to London in 1987. Noble was a founding member of City Racing, an artist-run gallery space active between 1988 and 1998. In 1996, he created the first work of Nobson Newtown, a vast and ever-expanding series of drawings and sculptures which would occupy the next fifteen years of his practice. Noble exhibited the final instalment of the Nobson works in 2011, a show which prompted the artist’s nomination for the Turner Prize in 2012. His works have been exhibited internationally in both group and solo exhibitions, and are currently included in the collections of the Tate Modern, London, and the Museum of Modern Art, New York. Noble lives and works in London.

Paul Noble was born in 1963 in Dilston, England. He studied at Humberside College of Higher Education and Sunderland Polytechnic before moving to London in 1987. He was one of the five founder members of the co-operative who formed the City Racing gallery in London, where his first exhibitions were also held. In 2000 Noble was the recipient of an award from the Paul Hamlyn Foundation and he was shortlisted for the Turner Prize in 2012.
