"Noga's work offers another type of space, a world that eludes
to private and public. As edges of enamel touch matt rolled acrylic
your eye moves across the picture plain exploiting the visual problem
of focusing simultaneously on converging layers of tonally dazzling
colour, while both elongating and compressing the image."
From 'Picking Up Putting Down' exhibition at APT Gallery June
2004
"His subjects are drawn not from life, but from personal memory.
While Noga's 'portraits' have no figurative content, the persistent
viewer will detect, beneath layer upon layer of paint glaze, the
hidden presence of interrelated vertical forms."
