Featuring paintings by Dan Noble and collage works by Robin Roi, The Fall contemplates human fragility and resilience.
Dan Noble’s recent paintings explore the profound and unsettling moment of falling, focusing on the human body in motion and the moment when the body succumbs to gravity. While the act of falling carries a sense of danger, the focus of this collection is not on the impact, but on the journey down—that brief, weightless instant when the mundane world dissolves and a person is suspended between solid ground and an uncertain future. The figures exist in a liminal space, an instance of pure, unchoreographed movement.
Noble’s paintings explore the moments when we are most vulnerable. But within that vulnerability, there is beauty and grace — the human spirit that, despite the fall, may eventually rise again.
Robin Roi’s works combine three of her loves – paper, pattern, and narrative. The Four Fiancés and Milagros are composed with Joss paper, a symbolic material traditionally burned as an offering during Buddhist and Taoist funerals or ceremonies honoring ancestors. “Milagros” or “miracles” are a form of Latin American folk art related to faith and healing. The small charms are typically placed on altars as offerings or symbols of devotion,
Representing formal wear and finery from another era, Roi’s pieces consider mortality, tradition, and hope.
