Noble and Common
Noble and Common present
Beacon: Landscape as News, booth 111 at Manchester Contemporary 2025. The theme of this years TMC is art writing and news, our presentation will explore how landscapes function as signals,warning, guiding, and recording cultural or political change.
Noble and Common is a new gallery dedicated to new approaches to landscape painting. We work with artists whose practices engage with place, not just as scenery, but as subject, tension, and process. Our focus is on works that challenge and expand the conventions of landscape. We present paintings that are as much about perception and time as they are about terrain.
With prices ranging from £200 to £8000, Noble and Common offers access to rigorously curated, original paintings by early, mid-career and established artists. We believe in supporting long-term practices and cultivating informed, committed collectors at every stage.
Our name, Noble and Common, references two varieties of hops; ‘noble’ and ‘common’ used to brew beer in Europe and the UK respectively. Housed in Worcester’s historic Hop Market, we draw from this context to ground our commitment to both tradition and experimentation.
