Meaning & Analysis

Crocodile by Thierry Noir, created in 2013, is a vibrant screenprint that captures the artist’s signature style. This piece features a stylised crocodile, echoing Noir’s iconic Berlin Wall murals. As part of his broader oeuvre, this work reflects Noir’s bold use of colour and form, encapsulating the playful yet poignant commentary typical of his art.

Noir’s crocodile motif often served as a metaphor for the Berlin Wall, symbolising its lurking presence. This print is a continuation of Noir’s exploration of urban landscapes and social commentary, first made famous through his vibrant murals on the Berlin Wall in the 1980s. Noir’s work is celebrated for its ability to convey complex themes through seemingly simple imagery, to be accessible to all viewers regardless of race, class, gender, and age.

Thierry Noir, born in 1958 in Lyon, France, is a renowned street artist who rose to prominence in the 1980s for his iconic, brightly coloured murals on the Berlin Wall. Using street art as a form of protest and liberation, Noir's playful, cartoonish figures danced across the oppressive barrier, infusing colour and vibrancy into the divided cityscape. His paintings have since become powerful symbols of hope, freedom, and the power of art in the face of adversity. Today, Noir continues to create art that challenges boundaries and sparks conversation, and his work is a testament to the force creativity has on reshaping physical and metaphorical landscapes.
