David Noonan

David Noonan’s collage works, films, paintings, sculptural objects, tapestries and installations are typically characterised by a complex layering of found historical and contemporary images. In his work, his distilled, monochromatic palette alludes to this found imagery as he explores the dialogue between figuration and abstraction and a de-linear sense of time.

Born in Australia in 1969, he received his BFA from Ballarat University College and undertook his post graduate studies at the Victorian College of Arts, Melbourne, Australia. Throughout his practice, Noonan explores how materials interact and influence each other to create a form of visual and material harmonics that informs his creative processes. 

Noonan has exhibited widely, with numerous solo shows held at institutions including the Palais de Tokyo, Paris; Chisenhale Gallery, London; Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, Melbourne; Contemporary Art Museum, St. Louis; Rosenwald-Wolf Gallery, Philadelphia and Foxy Production, New York. His works also feature in international public collections including the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; Whitney Museum, New York; Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; Dallas Museum of Art and Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

David Noonan lives and works in London, England.
