Noël is one of the most important representatives of French Informel. For his impasto, material painting he used powdery pigments, sand and glue polyvinylacetat and spread the mixture on the canvas. In a gestural-automatic manner, Noël scratched scriptural elements or symbolic signs into the partly soft, partly hardened layer of paint and thus developed the pictures he called palimpsest. With this term, Noël refers to the beginning of writing in early cultures in stone and clay tablets, the erasing and re-engraving of writing elements. His vocabulary of signs shows his interest in the magic, symbolism and mystery of prehistoric, Mycenaean-Archaic and indigenous cultures. In 2018, the L'Association des Amis de Georges Noël was founded.
