Lee Noble is an artist and musician who works in painting, sound, video, and installation. Influenced by film history, punk culture, camp, and science fiction,
Noble engages in a kind of reclamation, using a scavenger’s eye to unearth and reanimate lost missives and forgotten meanings. Images are cropped and enlarged, scissored from magazines, digitized, and then painted by hand, sculpted and slip cast again and again, and presented together without comment in varying states of readability.

Currently based in Minneapolis, Noble received his MFA from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. He attended the Mountain School of Arts in Los Angeles in 2017 and was a guest composer at EMS Stockholm in 2019. He has performed at venues and festivals including Hopscotch Festival in Raleigh, Issue Project Room in Brooklyn, Sonihouse in Japan, and the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis. He is the co-founder of Nightclub Gallery in St. Paul, Minnesota with Emma Beatrez.
