Lindsey Nobel

Lindsey Nobel, Five People Just Got Out of the Pool (Gridded People series), 2020, acrylic and charcoal on canvas, 50 x 66 inches.

LINDSEY NOBEL’s artwork invites your eyes to dance. The expression of movement in her work is palpable; her Gridded People series packs a serious gestural punch, and her bronze sculptures exemplify suspended action. Nobel graduated from University of California, Santa Cruz with a BFA in painting and also attended Boston’s School of the Museum of Fine Arts and London’s Royal College of Art. She was one of five artists chosen this year for a residency at the Lucid Art Foundation in Inverness, California, and her work has been exhibited throughout the United States. Relocating her studio from Los Angeles to Carpinteria during the pandemic profoundly impacted Nobel’s work, especially her color palette, which now includes greens and browns, reflecting her more natural surroundings. “I feel much calmer and peaceful and more focused being in nature,” she says.
