‘Great British Baking Show’ Star Noel Fielding Is Selling Some “Weird” Art Online – And You Can Buy It, Too

We all know Noel Fielding as an actor, a comedian, and brilliant co-host, but did you know he’s also an artist? If you didn’t, that become public knowledge on last week’s episode of The Great British Baking Show, when bakers Janusz and Sandro asked Fielding for a piece of his artwork.

During the Showstopper Challenge, the bakers were instructed to make a 3-D mask out of biscuits. Janusz, who won Star baker in the first episode, decided to make an “abstract” Cubism-inspired mask, imitating an art style practiced by Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, and Salvador Dalí.

This caught the attention of Fielding, who asked the baker, “Did you go to art school?” Janusz replied saying that he didn’t, but added, “I’ve got my eye on some of your art.” Fielding told him, “I’ll do you some.” And Sandro – this season’s “hottie baker” – jumped into the conversation with, “Oh, I want one.”

Janusz continued to tell the co-host, “I just moved into a new flat, so I want something weird there.” Before walking away, the co-host said he’d make something for the two bakers because they’re his “favorites.” If this left you curious about Fielding’s art work, here’s everything you need to know about his history as an artist and where you can nab a painting for yourself.

Is Noel Fielding an Artist?

Noel Fielding has been active in the London art scene since the late-2000s. According to his biography via Hooligan Art Dealer, he trained at Croydon Art College and his preferred mediums are drawing, painting, collage, and multimedia installation.

Fielding’s first solo exhibition, “Psychedelic Dreams of The Jelly Fox,” was held at Gallery Maison Bertaux (with pieces collected by Keith Tyson and Ringo Starr). This was followed by “Bryan Ferry VS The Jelly Fox,” at the same venue.

Fielding has gone on to present his art at the Saatchi Gallery, St Martin’s Courtyard, Covent Garden, Haymarket, the Museum of Liverpool (alongside Yoko Ono), and the Royal Albert Hall. The co-host also released an art book in 2011 called The Scribblings of a Madcap Shambleton. Most recently, Fielding created graphics and letter for FENDI’s AW2021 Menswear Collection.

Noel Fielding Had An Online Art Club

In March 2020, Noel Fielding started an online art club, as a way to keep creativity alive during the throes of the COVID-19 pandemic. He tweeted a picture of a chalkboard that read, “Art club today at 3 on Twitter. I’ll pick a theme / Anyone can join / Kids especially welcome / Winner picked at 5 / Best piece of art will be the first to enter the Art Club Hall of Fame.”

This continued for nearly three months, before Fielding tweeted on June 20, 2020, “It’s the last #noelsartclub today – doing it on instagram stories only. Love you all.” Prior to that, the GBBS co-host toyed with the idea of halting the club, but continued because “we’re living in dark times.”

Can You Buy Noel Fielding’s Art? How To Buy Online:

Yes! Noel Fielding has his art on sale on Saatchi Art – but unless you’re Janusz or Sandro, don’t expect to get it for free. His pieces, described as “visceral and animated,” range from $1,140-$3,900, and many are already sold out.

He also has a collection of three prints, “All Hail Our Leader”, “Bouquet of Toothbrushes,” and “I Done A Murder”, on Jealous. These pieces are listed at £625, which converts to $694.94. However, if you’re not interested in buying and just want to admire from afar, Fielding often shares his latest creations on his Instagram.
