Meaning & Analysis

This screenprint showcases Thierry Noir's signature style, characterised by its use of bright, unmodulated colours and simple, bold outlines. The yellow head stands out against a contrasting blue background, highlighting Noir's playful yet impactful approach to form and colour. As a continuation of his East Side Heads series, Yellow Head embodies the themes of freedom and rebellion that underpin Noir's art. The exaggerated features and vibrant palette are reminiscent of his work on the Berlin Wall, where he first gained prominence. Noir’s art is a celebration of expression and defiance, capturing the essence of the Street Art movement that he helped pioneer.

  • 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.
