Paul Noble.

I am literally so excited about this exhibition! At first I thought it was the New York Gagosian, but now I've found it's in London I am There.

Noble uses graphite drawings to depict a fictional place: 'Nobson Newtown'. The drawings are so intricately detailed, there is just so much to take in. This exhibition is just one part of a 15 year project based around Nobson. 
      Noble has created a city in which he knows every aspect and after how many years he has put into this 'place' the idea of letting it go is just mad to me (this huge drawing included in this exhibition titled 'Welcome to Nobson' is his penultimate in the series.).

I wish I had been able to see more of the other work he has completed on this subject- I love the idea of having the dedication and interest in a topic as specific as this to work on it for over a decade.
