Noonan’s work is an amalgamation of fiction, myth and fact. The large-scale screen prints shown here incorporate figures and imagery from the history of theatre and costume design. The characters he selects often have a haunting aura, which is emphasised by the subdued visual effect of his collage and printing technique. In Untitled a mysterious selection of figures is placed against a woodland background that may evoke sinister connotations. At the same time the characters are redolent of a particular moment in British theatrical history, as if playing out some classical drama from the 1970s.
