In 1984, Thierry Noir became a pioneer of modern street art by secretly painting the Berlin Wall with vibrant, cartoon-like figures. His work added a lively touch to this symbol of division, and today, parts of his murals are in art collections worldwide. Now based in Berlin, Noir has expanded his artistic pursuits to include painting, printmaking, and public art, showcasing his work in cities like London, Los Angeles, and Berlin. He has collaborated with local graffiti artist Stik and partnered with brands like Hennessy and Rega to create limited-edition products. Noir's vibrant and simple style remains his hallmark.
