Meaning & Analysis
Red Head is a 2014 screenprint by Thierry Noir, depicting a stylised, bold red figure. Part of the East Side Heads series, it exemplifies Noir’s iconic use of vibrant colours and simplified forms. As a limited edition of 25, it reflects the artist's pioneering contributions to the street art movement, cemented by his early work on the Berlin Wall.
The bold, graphic lines and vivid red palette are hallmark features of Noir’s style, which revolutionised urban art. This piece, part of the East Side Heads series, draws direct inspiration from his renowned Berlin Wall paintings, where he became a trailblazer in street art. The exaggerated features of the head convey a playful yet rebellious spirit, characteristic of Noir’s works that challenge societal norms. Created using screenprinting techniques, the artwork’s vivid colours and sharp contours exemplify his skill in translating street art aesthetics to fine art prints. Noir’s influence from artists like Picasso and Matisse is evident in his daring use of colour and form.
