\"Artist<\/a>While looking for a coffee, at about 7.50pm, we popped into the Howard Griffin Gallery in Shoreditch. Looked at a lot of amazing work from Thierry Noir<\/a>. Headed downstairs and saw some more interesting work, and then an unassuming man asked me if I liked the work. I said I did. He said thank you. I then asked him if he was the artist itself \u2013 he said yes!\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here I was talking to Thierry Noir! I had seen his work years ago when I visited Berlin with my family (his paintings are still on the Berlin Wall, at the East Side Gallery<\/a>). We chatted, he was very down to earth, and we talked about his favourite works. This is his first solo exhibition in this thirty year career! I picked up a book, he graciously autographed it in a way only he can.<\/p>\n

He lives in Berlin normally, and funnily enough my next stop was to be Berlin :) Many useful resources are listed below, but if you happen to be in London, check out<\/a> the Howard Griffin Gallery<\/a>, 04 April – 5 May 2014<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Gallery closes at 8pm, we left shortly thereafter. Still amazed how chance sometimes just works out.<\/p>\n
