Artist Spotlight Series: Steve Nobel
I could not be more thrilled to introduce you to a dear friend, business mentor and talented artist. This man is worldy, wise and one of the most interesting people I am lucky enough to know. We are kindred spirits with so many common interests that we immediately connected. I am now mesmerized by his wonderful works of art.
“Synthesizing over 40 years as a business strategist for the markets of design worldwide, Stephen Nobel now offers original works of fine art direct from his studio for your residential and commercial clients. Before founding his successful consulting firm NOBELINKS, Stephen studied at The School of the Museum of Fine Arts and later brokered art sales at the venerable OK Harris Gallery in New York’s burgeoning SoHo district of the 1970s. Throughout the years, Stephen has steadily nurtured a studio practice that unites his aesthetic interests with decades of cultural experiences from his world travels.”

“The Choreography of Color in Space”
What is your training?
School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and years in galleries on West Broadway
What inspires you and your designs?
In my view, art is made by refined seeing. I see color choreographed in space; the way it vibrates and moves with and against other color – sometimes harmony, sometimes dissonance.
In his own words, Stephen notes, “My visual vocabulary is clear – rhythmic constellations of pure color on a grid. I make art to discover interactions and choreographies that I have not seen before.”
