places i cannot return to
A solo exhibition that combines painting, digital art, and poetry to explore the impact of memory on place.
This exhibition explores how memories transform the places we leave behind. Each piece is inspired by Chloe Noble’s experiences, reflecting powerful, often complicated memories tied to specific places. These works capture the complex emotions connected to places that have left their mark—places that have defined and transformed the artist.
The exhibition invites viewers into moments that feel both distant and deeply familiar, inviting reflection on the spaces that shape us and linger long after we've left.
Presented by: Chloe Noble

Noble transforms personal experiences into a unique visual language characterised by gestural mark-making and vibrant colour harmonies. They often explore digital art, video, animation, and installation, examining the interplay between traditional and contemporary mediums in relation to identity and place. Drawing from lived experiences of disability, chronic illness, neurodivergence, trauma, and queerness, Noble creates deeply resonant works that engage emotional themes.
