• Lot Description
  Aaron Noble
  Blue Rider, 2010
  comic book collage, mounted on metallic paper with archival adhesive
  10 x 11 in. (framed)
  Courtesy the artist.
  
  I’m an analog artist in a digital age. I start by making an abstract collage using contemporary superhero comics as my sole source material. I’m seeking to create archetypal post-human forms that express the full potentials of speed, power, amorality, and fecundity that the superhero form hints at but constrains within a familiar pulp narrative.
  
  These collages become the models for works on paper, canvas, and wall, in which I reproduce Photoshopped visual effects in brush and acrylic and test the expressive limits of the visual language developed by brilliant mid-century cartoonists like Jack Kirby, Hank Ketcham, Osamu Tezuka, and many others.
