If you’re an art lover or are just an admirer of happiness, the Gold Exhibition will make you smile. Let’s explore Thierry Noir’s world and why this exhibition is special.
Who Was Thierry Noir?
Thierry Noir is born in Lyon, the third largest city in France. He was not always an artist; he was once a musician just like his passion shows. When he moved to Berlin in the early 80s, he was moved by the city’s energy and creative scene to change paths. Thierry discovered his vocation as a painter in Berlin.
Thierry’s art wasn’t following the rules, not creating perfect masterpieces. It was more about making a statement that would be remembered. Once he said: “I was not thinking of beauty, I was thinking of leaving a trace.” His colorful, playful characters were also forever to come in that trace: it would represent the Berlin Wall forever in a different way.
FUN FACT: Thierry Noir’s iconic characters were inspired by simple childhood doodles! He didn’t start out with any grand plans for a global art movement. Instead, he drew these playful faces as a form of self-expression, which eventually became his signature style.
His Career
Thierry Noir began his life as a full-time artist after a longstanding immersion in music. When he moved to Berlin, he found the energy of the city, and the Berlin Wall made an art form out of them. Soon enough, Thierry’s work was attracting the attention of the people of the city, and from around the world.
In five years, between 1984 and 1989, Thierry painted almost 5 kilometers of the Berlin Wall. At a time when most of the Wall was still plain concrete, his murals were some of the first painted on it and symbolized the division between East and West Berlin.
