Julia Noble: “It’s just a kind of friendly relationship…..”
Materiality, process/rules and colour are the three aspects that define Julia Noble’s work. As an artist it is important to her that she engages the viewer’s senses, creating an aesthetic experience through the physical components of her paintings, which draw upon her experiences and desires.
Julia is drawn to art works where the puzzle for her is to ascertain how they were made, where things are not as they seem, trying to establish the processes that have been employed.
Her practice has been founded on two quotes that resonated with her in relation to the use of chance by abstract painters. Robert Rauschenberg said that “And even though chance deals with the unexpected and unplanned it still has to be organized before it can exist…” and that he “used the fact that wet paint would run, and lots of other things…it’s just a kind of friendly relationship with your materials”. Robert Morris refers to the “tendencies inherent in a materials/process interaction.” Rauschenberg’s words inspired the title of Julia’s exhibition. Her practice involves an investigation into her relationship with materials, the tendencies they possess and how those tendencies can be pushed together with the impact of colour.
Julia explains, “I seek to challenge the viewer with my complex system of production which results in kaleidoscopic rhythmic images. The starting point for many of my creations stems from elements of earlier works transforming them into something new using repeating forms, processes, and colour to provide different perspectives. Incorporating stitch as a drawing method the marks I make are relatively unconventional but also serve to disrupt the form and texture of the surface. Furthermore, stitching is synonymous with bringing together, a cohesive force unifying the separate elements of the work.
“My creations are instinctive, how they end up is determined by the processes and the colours that are used. I want them to be unashamedly joyful and uplifting full of curiosity and optimism.”
Highgate Gallery open Tue-Fri 1-5; Sat 11-4; Sun 11-5. Closed Mon.
Exhibition continues until 22 March.

The predictability of Chaos and the uncertainty of Order are the focus for this dynamic and colourful exhibition of paintings and drawings at Highgate Gallery from May 18th until May 31st.
Order and Chaos philosophies have peppered religious and scientific history for millennia with ideas formed around the ‘Chaos Theory’ coming to the fore in the middle of last century. These are the subject matter for playful new works, many executed in low relief which adds to the visual uncertainty – a change in the angle of view reveals aspects that cannot be seen from elsewhere.
Slade trained Stephen Brooks has often played with ideas and questions that have created ideological dilemmas. This was also the case in a previous exhibition, ‘Ptolemy’s Mythtake’ at Highgate Gallery in 2008.
For further information please contact: steve@stephenjbrooks.co.uk
Highgate Gallery open Tue-Fri 1-5; Sat 11-4; Sun 11-5. Closed Mon.
Exhibition continues until 31 May.
Steve Brooks trained in Fine Art at the Harris College of Art, Preston, and the Slade School of Fine Art UCL.
For several years he was the Studio Assistant to Richard Hamilton, a founder of the British Pop Art Movement, who lived in Highgate before moving to Oxfordshire,
Alongside Steve’s fine art career he taught Design and Drawing in Oxfordshire, Bournemouth and London whilst also being involved in a graphic design business with his wife.
Having lived and worked in various parts of the UK including The Orkney Isles, Dorset, London, Oxfordshire and Wales, he is now based in Herefordshire.
He has held one man shows in London, the Home Counties and Herefordshire, and was chosen to represent Herefordshire as the Three Choirs Festival Artist in 2006. His paintings and drawings are in collections in the UK, Europe and overseas.
Steve’s connection with Highgate goes back to the 70s where he lived and worked. He had two one man shows at the Highgate Society building, one being an exhibition of Drawings and Etchings of Highgate Cemetery in an effort to raise awareness and funds for the then neglected site.
Chaos2 is his third Exhibition at Highgate Literary and Scientific Institution’s Highgate Gallery.
Hampstead Garden Opera presents a new production directed by Sophie Gilpin, of Verdi’s “La Traviata”, in Italian with subtitles.
Music Director: Sam Evans
