Denis Paul Noyer, son of famed artist Philippe Noyer, has distinguished himself as a painter, lithographer, and sculptor of great talent and originality. Born in Paris in 1940, he showed an interest in drawing early on, a skill which his father helped foster. He went on to attend the Lycee Janson de Sailly and the Beaux Arts de Troyes, before studying under the very master who taught his father. Since his first American exhibit at the Acosta Gallery (Beverly Hills, California) in 1964, Noyer’s work has been shown in Paris, Florence, Rome, Stockholm, New York, Denver, Palm Beach, Las Vegas, and Chicago. Noyer’s works of art continue to be highly sought after and collectable, featured in museums and private collections around the world. A truly multi-faceted artist, he is well known for capturing the quirky, almost surreal grace of the Art Deco Era, with an instantly-recognizable, one-of-a-kind painting technique in which his characters are at both cartoon-like and yet exquisitely real. His work has been described as “classically based,” “naturally motivated,” and “formally realistic.” Noyer describes himself as a “true modern primitive” and has been compared to Bernard Buffet in his early period. The artist and his wife, Rafaela, live and work in Paris, where Noyer has a rooftop atelier overlooking the city.
