David Noonan
Untitled, 2011
David Noonan is an Australian artist who lives and works in London. Noonan works with collected materials, using mediums such as film, collage, and painting to create multi-layered imagery.
His collage brings historical and contemporary imagery together in the dialogue between figuration and abstraction whilst proposing a de-linear sense of time. He celebrates ambiguities, contradictions and in-between spaces to allow for a multitude of possible readings and associations.
Often working with a monochromatic palette that references his historical source material the artist presents a distilled, harmonious aesthetic.
David Noonan has had multiple solo shows including David Noonan, Rosenwald-Wolf Gallery, the University of the Arts, Philadelphia, United States, 2015; David Noonan, Xavier Hufkens, Brussels, 2015; David Noonan, Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery, Sydney, 2015; Le Vendeur fou, Au 8 Rue Saint Bon, Paris, 2014; David Noonan, Foxy Production, New York, United States, 2013; David Noonan, Modern Art, London, 2012; David Noonan: Scenes, Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, Melbourne, 2009; David Noonan, Palais de Tokyo, Paris, 2007.
