Thierry Noyer, aka TNO, is a visual artist and scenographer who creates mixed-media works and installations. TNO currently lives and works between London and Marrakech. With a subtle minimalist approach, TNO explores the dynamics of landscape, including the manipulation of its effects and the limits of spectacle, based on our assumptions about what landscape means to us. Rather than presenting a factual reality, an illusion is created to evoke the realms of our imagination. His practice provides a useful set of allegorical tools for maneuvering with a pseudo-minimalist approach in the world of mixed-media art: these meticulously planned works resonate with images drawn from the fantastical realm of the imagination. Exploring the notion of landscape in a nostalgic manner, he focuses on the idea of "Public Space," and more specifically, spaces where anyone can do anything at any time.
His works often interact with architecture and the fundamental elements of life. Energy (heat, light, water), matter, space, and landscape are addressed in less obvious ways and sometimes developed in absurd ways. In search of new methods to "read the city," he creates works that reflect a fascination with clarity of content and an uncompromising attitude toward conceptual and minimal art. The work is distant and systematic, and uses cold, neutral imagery. His works establish a link between the reality of the landscape and that imagined by its designer. These works focus on concrete questions that determine our existence.
