Thierry Noir
Pienot pense au temps qui passe (Work on Paper)

1987

About the Item

This playful yet poignant work by Thierry Noir captures the essence of his unmistakable visual language. Titled Pienot pense au temps qui passe (“Pienot thinks about the passing of time”), the piece presents one of Noir’s iconic figures—boldly outlined, simplified in form, and vibrantly coloured—holding a flower, eyes wide with contemplation. Set against a neutral background and framed in a striking cobalt blue, this work is a testament to Noir’s mastery of colour and minimalism. Collectors value Noir’s art not only for its stylistic appeal but for its historical resonance. A pioneer of street art, Noir gained international recognition in the 1980s as one of the first artists to paint the Berlin Wall, turning it into a symbol of peaceful protest and hope. His instantly recognisable figures—often with thick black contours and vivid flat colours—speak to the resilience of the human spirit. This work distils that ethos with a tender introspection. Whether you’re drawn to its pop sensibility or its political roots, Pienot pense au temps qui passe is a work that transcends trends.
