Anthony Lister (Macmillan Mini-Art Series)

Ken McGregor and Jenny Zimmer

Really cool graffiti artist…
Stencil and street pioneer, Anthony Lister from Australia, moved to New York to spread some paint…

As you flip through his alternative representation of superheros and sweet mirror imaged-style forms and art, I guarantee you’ll be blown away by this guy.

Lister’s art could be seen as a reincarnation of the American Pop Art movement of the 1960s but, instead of mass market commodities, Lister draws upon the mass media and its super-heroes who have helped shape new attitudes and ways of seeing within global society. He says: “I’m not trying to change the world, I’m just reacting to the world that’s trying to change me.” His imagery, and the media from which it is drawn, reflects the prescience or Marshall McLuhan’s predictions half a century ago.
