Opinion:
I hope this year’s winner will be Paul Noble. Two
years ago, Museum Boymans van Beuningen in Rotterdam showed some of his
fabulous drawings and installations. His drawings are gigantic, they reflect a
fictional town called Nobson Newtown. His drawings show a pessimistic view of
city life, neighbourhoods are isolated and destroyed. He critizices
consumerism, his malls seem a terrible place to be where you can be chained as
a result of your shopping addiction. His drawings have many fascinating and
precise details. There are also many comic book elements in his drawings, which
remind me of the American cartoonist Robert Crump. Paul Noble worked 10 years
on this project, he really deserves the Turner Price of 2012.
