Fast Form Manifest (Teal) features Noir's signature bold outlines and vivid colours, depicting a series of stylised faces. This piece is part of Noir's ongoing exploration of form and colour, and exemplifies Noir's distinctive style, which gained prominence with his murals on the Berlin Wall.
This work employs a dynamic composition of interlocking faces, each outlined in thick black lines against a teal background. Noir's technique harks back to the spontaneous and expressive style he developed while painting the Berlin Wall in the 1980s. The repetition of forms and vibrant palette reflect influences from Pop Art and street art, capturing the energetic and rebellious spirit of the era. As with many of Noir's works, this print exemplifies his commitment to bold expression and social commentary, encapsulating the transformative power of art in public spaces.
Thierry Noir, born in 1958 in Lyon, France, is a renowned street artist who rose to prominence in the 1980s for his iconic, brightly coloured murals on the Berlin Wall. Using street art as a form of protest and liberation, Noir's playful, cartoonish figures danced across the oppressive barrier, infusing colour and vibrancy into the divided cityscape. His paintings have since become powerful symbols of hope, freedom, and the power of art in the face of adversity. Today, Noir continues to create art that challenges boundaries and sparks conversation, and his work is a testament to the force creativity has on reshaping physical and metaphorical landscapes.
