Anthony Lister
Edit ProfileEducation
He graduated from the Queensland College of Art in Brisbane in 2001 and traveled to New York soon after where he mentored under the auspices Max Gimblett, one of New Zealand"s most influential living artists.
Career
He has had solo exhibitions across Australia, United States, Europe and United Kingdom. He is notable within the Lowbrow (art movement) and has been featured on Juxtapoz.com, FecalFace.com and WoosterCollective.com. He currently resides in Sydney, Australia. One of Australia"s most renowned contemporary artists, presents us with a grimy fusion of high and lowbrow culture with influences from a number of areas and genres, including street art, expressionism, popular art, and contemporary youth culture, often drawing from television and the "misguided role models" that result.
Revelling in the "spirituality", and the "heritage" of Western popular culture he takes this joint legacy and remoulds it into something equally alluring and grotesque, a perfect representation of the society he seeks to depict.
Taking influence from the dirtier and rough techniques of "Bad" Painting and merging it with the spirit and practices of graffiti art Lister has embraced an explosive, scratchy, scrawling form of figurative art using a variety of mediums from painting, drawing and installation to film and music
