Anthony Lister is an influential Australian contemporary artist known for his raw, energetic approach to painting, street art, and installation. Born in Brisbane in 1979, Lister emerged from the street art scene in the early 2000s, blending elements of graffiti, pop culture, surrealism, and expressionism into a distinctive visual language. His work often features distorted figures, masked faces, superheroes, and evocative text, exploring themes of modernity, social decay, and the complexities of urban life.

Lister’s art has been exhibited internationally, with solo and group shows in cities such as Sydney, London, New York, and Los Angeles, and his murals grace walls around the globe. His unique style—often described as a fusion of fine art and subversive street aesthetics—has earned him critical acclaim and a dedicated following. Beyond galleries and public spaces, Lister has collaborated with various brands and designers, further bridging the gap between high and low art.

Despite personal controversies and a provocative persona, Anthony Lister remains a dynamic and prolific force in contemporary art, continually pushing boundaries and challenging societal norms through his bold visual narratives.
