Exhibition presentation

An in-situ exhibition focusing on the work of poster artist Guy Gérard Noël. Comprising around twenty original posters of his own design, it pays tribute to the work of this artist and highlights the characteristics of his style. He worked a lot with bright colours and ‘recurring graphic elements: stencil-style colouring, silhouettes to render characters, horses and backdrops (the Marseille basilica or New York skyscrapers, for example). Monochrome backgrounds from which characters, actions and scenery emerge forcefully. Or a black frame, which often brings out the brilliance of the colours. Dynamic, powerful compositions, favouring scenes of movement, fights, races, or static tension such as a duel between cowboys or the suspended moment when a gun is pointed. It's a highly connotative style that's very well suited to genre cinema: westerns, thrillers, comedies, adventure films and even horror films’ (Cinémathèque de Toulouse website). This selection comes from the collections of the Cinémathèque de Toulouse, with 200 posters signed by the artist. The exhibition is located in the lobby of the Cinémathèque de Toulouse.
