NOAH ARENDS
Textile art rooted in fashion imagery.
Noah Arends is a visual artist whose work balances stylish monumental objects with playful, characteristic images. Collage lies at the heart of her practice, serving as the foundation of her creative process. By collecting fashion photographs, Arends creates compositions that are scanned, digitally edited, and printed on textiles. These prints, naturally limp and shapeless, are then given three-dimensional form by being stretched over frames or wooden sculptures.
More about the artist
Inspired by fashion photography, Noah’s work goes through multiple transformative layers. The resulting imagery is highly aesthetic and captivating, similar to the purpose of the initial images. Yet now, the image is stripped of all its commercial character. Using fashion photography as an aesthetic tool, actually as a separate art form, creates a very interesting interplay. It is like the paint that she uses for her work to create a new image.
Her work is characterised by hidden secrets and artisanal layering, where shapes, colours, and structures define the visual essence of her abstract and vibrant creations. Through deep research into materials and techniques, particularly textiles, she has made them an integral extension of her art practice. This allows her to include surprising elements, inviting viewers to discover new depths and interact with her work.

Sublimation printing on textile
In Interference Noah Arends explores the fragile balance between disruption and harmony. Flowing bands of icy blue and deep black are interrupted by striking accents of pink and red, creating a composition that feels both fluid and electric. The surface seems to shift as the eye moves across it, echoing the way perception is never fixed but constantly in motion.
As in much of her work, the starting point lies in images from fashion photography, stripped of their original context and reworked into layered abstractions. The result is a painting that transforms something once commercial into a field of visual energy, a play of rhythm, depth, and hidden details that reveal themselves gradually.
Delivery in the Netherlands and Belgium is included.
We’re preparing this work for a long-term international exhibition, where part of the presentation may remain on site. For now, it’s still available, both for purchase and for private viewings at the gallery.

Sublimation printing on textile
Layers of Pink I immediately captures attention with its bold pink surface, leaving little room for escape. In this work, Noah Arends combines a digital sublimation print with fiberfill and a single, almost hidden hand-stitched detail. The shape is rectangular, but the composition is layered. A play between image and material, between distance and intimacy.
Noah explores how colour and texture affect us physically, before any meaning is assigned to what we see. With one gesture - a nearly invisible thread - she introduces a question mark into the controlled, digital field. Layers of Pink I is both assertive and quiet, balancing mechanical precision with a personal touch.
