Thierry Noir: A Retrospective at the Howard Griffin Gallery
Almost a year ago, we wrote about Thierry Noir‘s work, when he visited London. For those who don’t know who Thierry Noir is, he was the first artist to illegally paint parts of the Berlin Wall. This time Howard Griffin Gallery in Shoreditch decided to host Noir’s first solo show dedicated to his work and life. The exhibition will kick off on the 4th of April and will last till the 5th of May 2014. Below you can find some great pics from Noir’s work and life:
