A Deep Meditation Before The Beginning Of Each Concert, Is Part Of The Basis Of My Exercises is an original acrylic on canvas by Thierry Noir — one of the most historically significant, culturally resonant, and internationally recognized figures in the history of street art — executed in 2019, signed and titled on the verso, and presented framed.

Thierry Noir holds a position of absolute historical uniqueness in the story of street art. Born in Lyon in 1958 and arriving in West Berlin in 1982, Noir became in 1984 the first artist to paint the Berlin Wall — transforming a structure of state violence, enforced separation, and political oppression into a canvas of color, expression, and defiant humanity. Working in the open air along the Wall's western face, in full view of the East German border guards, Noir developed his signature visual language of large, boldly outlined, chromatically vivid cartoon-like heads — produced with a speed and directness born of necessity, a style that anticipated and influenced the development of street art across the world. His interventions on the Wall were not merely artistic acts but political ones — gestures of resistance, visibility, and human affirmation in one of the most charged and dangerous public spaces in the world — and they have secured his place as one of the founding figures of the global street art movement and a witness of unique historical importance to one of the defining episodes of twentieth-century history.

The work is in excellent condition.
