Village Voice, 18 November 2003〕 ==Early lives and careers== Noble and Webster attended fine art foundation courses at, Cheltenham Art College (now the University of Gloucestershire) and Leicester Polytechnic (now De Montfort University) respectively. The two first met in 1986 as Fine Art students at Nottingham Trent University, became good friends through shared interests, particularly their tastes in music.〔Deitch, Jeffrey, "Black Magic" in '‘Wasted Youth'’ New York: Rizzoli International Publications, US, 2009〕 After graduating from university in 1989, they moved to Bradford, West Yorkshire, and from 1990–1992 worked in residency at the sculpture studios in Dean Clough.〔 Their time in Bradford had a profound effect on their artistic development, inspiring much of their early work. They later moved to London when Noble began an MA in sculpture at the Royal College of Art, which marked the pair's entrance into the London art world.〔 Their first solo exhibition, entitled 'British Rubbish', was at the Independent Art Space (ISA) in 1996.〔〔Burrows, David, (“British Rubbish” ) Variant, Issue, 1, 1996〕〔Brown, Neal () Frieze, October 1996〕 This led to them being invited to participate in numerous exhibitions, including 'Fool's Rain' at the ICA in 1996, in which they showed what they consider to be their first light sculpture; '‘Excessive Sensual Indulgence'’ (''left'').〔 In 1997, while working for the artists Gilbert and George to support themselves, they developed their signature imagery, experimenting with the assemblage of personal items and household rubbish out of which came their first shadow sculpture, 'Miss Understood & Mr Meanor'〔 This work featured in their solo exhibition, 'Home Chance', mounted in their own Rivington Street studio in London.〔() Blain|Southern website〕 The exhibition attracted large audiences, including Charles Saatchi, who bought two of the three works on show.〔 The artist's work was included in 'Statuephilia – Contemporary Sculptors' at the British Museum, London, 2008–2009〔() BM doesn't need sculpture face-off to pull in visitors, Jonathan Jones, The Guardian, 2009〕 and in 'Apocalypse – Beauty and Horror in Contemporary Art' at the Royal Academy London, 2000.〔Cumming, Laura (“It’s just hell, darling...” ) The Observer, 24 September 2000〕 They have had solo shows at a number of other galleries in London,〔() The Evening Standard, 5 April 2004〕〔() Art Knowledge News〕 and since 2000, they have enjoyed international recognition with solo exhibitions in Athens, Berlin, Boston, Moscow, New York, and Seoul.〔() Jeffrey Deitch Projects website〕〔() MoMA PS1 website〕〔() Triumph Gallery website〕〔Blain|SouthernNoble&WebsterCV〕 Their work features in a number of public collections,〔 including the National Portrait Gallery, London,〔() Isabella Blow graces the National Portrait Gallery – in the form of magpies, crows, a rattlesnake and a rat.
