Thierry Noir 🇨🇵 Berlin Wall • French Street Arist

[brut]

The Thierry Noir prints from Howard griffin are of top quality.
I purchased the yellow head one last year & the colours are beautiful.
I had to have a noir piece due to the social/political history of what they stood for and as the guy is also a pioneer of the movement.
At only 25 prints a colour it was a bit of an easy decision for me.

What size is the canvas ?

[Fountain Art]

Hi
146 x 110
2014 bought from Howard Griffin Gallery Solo Show

[Fountain Art]

STIK's "Liberty Print" or Nelson Mandela Tribute!

I have put feelers out before on these and was offered decent prices to split them.

I really want to sell as a set, they are PPs (Printers Proofs) from a very small edition of 3.

All matching numbers in the set.

They are all floated in bespoke frames behind conservation glass and came directly from the gallery that hosted his last NYC Solo Show.

Red, Blue, Yellow & turquoise.

I realise what a single one is worth from the many offers from before but I am determined the family stay together so please only offer by PM on the set.

Thanks

I always assumed it was the statue of liberty rather than a mandela thing as it was a NY print.
guess it could be both though.

Personally saw it as a tribute the cheating Argentinian midget Maradonna or something to do with the Arsenal offside trap.

[taz66]

What does a single one go for these days ?

[FЯ]

about £1k-£1.2k for colours before xmas (framed)
not sure now, things change alot.

silver maybe nearer to £2k
Nude more.

[shadowuk]

I'd say £800-£900 for a Liberty. There is a lot more of these compared to other Stik prints, and it's the newest. On EB last one on eBay went for $1000 ~£700 back end of 2014. Also they are PP and doesn't state they are signed or have a COA!? Also if they are a set where's the Orange?

Howard Griffin Gallery London

On 25th June, Howard Griffin Gallery London presents Jazz, a unique synthesis between the worlds of art and music as seen through the eyes of infamous Berlin Wall artist Thierry Noir.

In the 1980s, Thierry Noir moved to Berlin to follow a burgeoning underground music scene. Berlin was the capital of alternative music at that time, from Nu Wave to Hip Hop, Punk Rock to Jazz. Fuelled by the creative energy that electrified the city in the midst of intense political and social upheavals, Noir began to spontaneously paint his distinctive characters. As Noir says, "If I had not been an artist, I would have been a musician". With Jazz, Noir returns to the musical influences that brought him to Berlin, capturing the spirit of the times through art that has come to visually define an era.

Many parallels can be drawn between Noir's iconic visual language and the music that inspired it. Clashing colours appear like discordant notes that, once played, reveal an unexpected beauty. The spontaneous nature of his practice emphasises speed, movement and immediacy; like jazz, it is never static. The dance of line and colour is instinctive and energetic. For Noir, art is a performance.

In Jazz, Noir will exhibit new works exploring the harmony of art and music. His depiction of instruments draws many allusions to Picasso, and in fact Noir has often called himself 'The Picasso of the street'. In the exhibition, Noir will show an exploration and refinement of his use of line as a primary tool. Upon entering the gallery space, the viewer will find themselves enveloped in an overwhelming sensory experience as they are drawn into Noir's world. On all sides, Noir's vivid imagery will assault and absorb the eye. The exhibition will explore the unending line of Noir's work as it moves into other forms and objects. Within the space, large scale sculptures inspired by Noir's imagery will act as a continuation of the feeling of his works in physical space. The instant recognition of these objects show the power of Noir's artistic vocabulary and its adaptable and free flowing form. Also present will be a series of Thierry Noir instruments created by acclaimed Greek instrument designer and sculptor Chris Tsonias.

Alongside the exhibition a series of new screen prints based around the theme of Noir's musicians will be released. Howard Griffin Gallery has also commissioned several new murals to be painted throughout the course of the exhibition by Noir in London. Finally, the exhibition will feature a unique musical performance in which specially designed instruments in the form of Noir characters will be played live.

I've just been down to the gallery and the show is starting to look amazing. A real feast for the eyes. The painting going on (not just the artwork) is still going strong and it looks like a lot of work has gone into this show. Should be a good show.

[Urban Muzzy]

I agree with dibbs45, was there when he was there, the show is on its way to looking amazing. The bar looks amazing too, designed by Noir himself. I believe the show is also sponsored by or the drinks are by Hennessy. Nice to have a chat with dibbs45.

Congrats to Howard Griffin, best of the year so far imo. They go to so much effort with their curation. Noir is such a wonderful and humble artist, sat there quietly smiling and signing postcards. Anybody else check this out?

Yep was there with a few other forumites and have to agree they always do a good show. Noir himself very quiet, as you s, and say sitting there signing cards and doing doodles, and not wearing his high Viz jacket. This is the second show of Noirs there and this time there were a lot smaller pieces on view and a real mixture mediums. I someone wanted to make a purchase there were prints, canvasses, framed records, instruments. Quite a spectacle. 

[11]

Joined Dibbs and a few others for opening night - it really was an extravaganza of colours. There was an enormous body of work, I don't think I have ever seen so many pieces at a group show let alone a solo exhibition. 7" and 12" Painted Vinyl Records, tiny canvases right up to 4 or 5ft pieces, Pieces on cardboard, Sculptures, A whole bar designed by Thierry.

It was banged out in there but fortunately refreshments were laid on by Hennessy so there were all sorts of lethal concoctions available......and even the bottles had been fully 'Noir'd'.  

A few snaps.....
