As the third artist to participate in the thirtynine Chambers Artist Residency Program (thirtynine CARP), former San Franciscan and current Los Angelean Aaron Noble will cover thirtyninehotel's gallery walls with murals in his signature new collage style. Like a mad, but highly skilled scientist Noble sutures together painted images of nearly-identifiable superhero comic forms with shards of organic and artificial life. Co-founder of the community-based organization, Clarion Alley Mural Project (CAMP) in San Francisco's Mission District and the author of dozens of sanctioned and unsanctioned public works, Noble creates large-scale paintings that explore favored concepts, such as "dimensional breach" and "portals and the other worlds that can be glimpsed through them."

Imagine that Noble's brain is like that Telepod in the David Cronenberg sci-fi thriller The Fly (1982). Picture the scene when lead character, Seth Brundle, steps into the first of two Telepods, hoping to solve the mystery of teleportation when a fly happens into the pod just as the scientist beams himself from one station to the next. This experiment gone awry results in new life that is somewhat disfigured and "impure," but it is superhuman. The metamorphosis is mesmerizing to witness. In Noble's work, all manner of matter gets placed in the Telepod before transmission: Medusa of The Inhumans' hair, untold lengths of gossamer fabric, modern ammunition, alien armor, a horse's mane, the hands of Sorcerer Supreme

Dr. Strange (but only his hands, nothing else). Fine. Now teleport this witch's cauldron three astral planes away from here. This is Noble's gift to the world. As with Brundle's hacked experiment, Noble's forays in recombinance are quite glorious, with an unflinching undercurrent of the bizarre.
