Beautiful/Decay + By Osmosis TV Presents Interview with Aaron Noble
8 months ago
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.

Previous Week
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.
