The FABRIC Of being
Fabric of being
Fabric of being is a series of oil drawings and paintings on panel set in wooden frames that have a sculptural quality to them.
Human bodies and their movements play a central role in this engaging corpus of work. Their wretchedness evokes a direct emotional response in the spectator. The inhabitants of the paintings are trampled and lost. Noppen dramatically renders these melancholic figures languishing in the changing circumstances leading to their unavoidable end.
The sculptures and geometry in both the paintings and drawings form an important part of Noppen’s work. They are scientific annotations, but the artist manipulates their visual nature into revealing our desires, our pain and our cry for love.
