Meaning & Analysis

The screenprint features interlocking shapes and figures, reminiscent of Noir's pioneering street art that adorned the Berlin Wall. His use of thick black outlines creates a striking contrast, enhancing the vibrancy of the primary colours. This piece reflects Noir's affinity for transforming public spaces into lively canvases, marrying the spontaneity of street art with the permanence of printmaking. The artwork’s title, referencing Baudelaire’s famed poetry collection, suggests a juxtaposition of beauty and melancholy, resonating with Noir’s themes of resilience and expression amidst urban landscapes.

  • 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.
