Beautiful/Decay teamed up with By Osmosis TV to create an artist profile piece on painter Aaron Noble. Aaron discusses his aesthetic-- “a version of the teleportation chamber in David Cronenberg’s ‘The Fly’” –that collapses traditional comic book super heroes, creating instead visages that are at once horrifying, super-powerful, and surprisingly, weightless and breathtakingly beautiful.

Aaron is a long time collaborator with Beautiful/Decay Magazine and Beautiful/Decay Apparel, and is featured in Beautiful/Decay's current gallery show at the Kopeikin Gallery.

    I enjoyed this video so much that it motivated
    me to join vimeo.com so I could leave a comment
    about Aaron Noble's work and the process he uses
    to create his pieces.

    I like how the artwork doesn't make it obvious
    where its elements originated, but if you're
    familiar with superhero comics, then you'll
    probably have a huge "Aha!" moment while
    looking at Aaron's pieces.

    There are various ways different artists have
    presented superhero comic imagery, but
    I can't think of any method with results
    having such a beautiful combination of color
    and graceful movement as Aaron Noble's
    new work.

    I think a lot of the power that comes from
    his artwork is that the scale is much larger
    than the size of the cutout comic art he
    uses to build each creation. I'm wondering
    if there's any way for comic book artists
    to improve the presentation of a comic book's
    story by taking the scale way up. Most of
    the time the comic book artist's artwork is
    reduced so the pictures look tighter and
    little mistakes don't get noticed. After seeing
    this video I'm wanting to see what a comic
    book would look like if it was illustrated on
    paper/canvas around the size of a movie
    screen.
