Anthony Lister has established himself as a defining figure in contemporary art, seamlessly merging the raw energy of street art with the depth and complexity of fine art. His influence spans both the mainstream and the avant-garde, drawing recognition from high-profile collectors such as Hugh Jackman, Pharrell Williams, Geoffrey Rush, and Pink.
From his early days in Brisbane, Lister pioneered Australia’s street art movement, working across charcoal, acrylic, spray paint, and oil, often depicting themes of comic book heroes and villains. His work challenges perception, often tackling provocative themes that spark public debate while remaining visually compelling and accessible.
His work has been exhibited internationally at leading galleries, including Allouche Gallery (New York), New Image Art Gallery (Los Angeles), Robert Fontaine Gallery (Miami), and Urban Spree Galerie (Berlin). In addition to gallery shows, his work has been featured in major institutions such as the National Gallery of Australia and Urban Nation Museum (Berlin). These exhibitions further cement his place within contemporary art discourse.
As Lister continues to expand his practice, his work challenges conventional notions of contemporary art, forging new ways for audiences to engage with his ever-evolving vision.
