Thierry Noir - Multi Noir - Signed Print
Thierry Noir was born in 1958 in Lyon, France, and went to Berlin in January 1982.
By April 1984, Noir had begun to paint the Berlin Wall and is credited as being the first artist to do so.
His objective was to perform a revolutionary act: to paint the Berlin wall, to transform it, to make it ridiculous, and to help destroy it, pre-mpting its ultimate fall in 1989.
Noir covered the Berlin Wall, more than 3 metres high, with his bright, vivid colours, aiming not to embellish the wall but to demystify it. His iconic, bright and seemingly innocent works painted on this deadly border symbolised a sole act of defiance and a lone voice of freedom.
His work has since become know across the world, and his murals adorn a variety of buildings from lodges in the Alps to apartment buildings in downtown Los Angeles.
