Thierry Noir Returns to London for Academy Of Art Summer Show at Protein Studios

Berlin-based street artist Thierry Noir is credited as being one of the first street artists with his colourful faces appearing on the Berlin Wall in 1984. The Academy Of Art Summer Show at Protein Studios in east London recently hosted Thierry Noir's artwork, and east London has recently become an outdoor gallery with some new walls being painted with Noir's colourful faces and other walls being refreshed with his previous work. 

Protein Studios had a lot of his work for sale, and I visited it after opening night; on opening night, there was quite a crowd.

One of the buildings painted was near the old Boundary Estate at Browns; the back side of this wall contains a paste-up from a year or two ago.

Rivington Street had this piece on a door and also some on Pizza Pilgrims at the corner of the street.

I believe that these two murals were freshened up as they had been there for a few years now. Both of these are on Rivington Street.

Further along and near Hoxton is another face.

This wall was painted on Luke Street in Shoreditch.

This face made an appearance on Brick Lane.

This one appeared at the end of Redchurch Street, replacing an older mural. It's hard to photograph this one as there's road work plus someone always parks out the front of it.

Outside Protein Studios is this piece.

Here are some more shots from inside Protein Studios.

Just a couple blocks away, you will find this on Holywell Street.

And this on (I believe) Curtain Road.

And, going back to Rivington Street, this building was repainted with Thierry Noir's faces. It was nice to see new work on this building, and an older Noir piece is opposite it.

I beleive that these are all of the new new pieces painted by Thierry Noir on his visit, and he's got plans to come back to London in November, so we will be seeing more of his work then. Keep checking back for updates.
