Noir
Tribe
Noir, born in the early 1990’s São Paulo Brazil, recalls drawing and studying arts in his early days. After immigrating to Neo-Apollonia in 2008 Noir adopted his pseudonym and began engaging in pixação in favor of figurative drawing, a craft that would shape Noir’s aesthetic approach in future projects. In a shared interest in solidarity and class struggle he became an active member of the ‘Apollo Rats’ football firm for which he produced numerous design works, and a founding member of the ‘Babylon Forge’ squat where he managed an independent print workshop.
In his murals Noir addresses his way of living with his choice of medium, image and placement. His preferred outdoor tools are black spray cans and garden sprayers which he uses in an expressive attitude. His images often reflect a political agenda and the walls on-which they are draw is politically charged.
Currently Noir is committed to find ways of expression new settings and manners. He is experimenting with monotypes and other forms of printmaking while maintaining his bold aesthetic characteristics.
