iLL ARTIST QUOTED BY TWD BELOW, CHECK IT OUT.

"Following Julia Chiang’s ‘All for You’ installation in February, Australian based artist Anthony Lister has made mini-masks, shields and swords which will be on sale at The Standard New York shop- each as individual pieces of art (acrylic on wood, $200 signed and numbered by artist). Lister recently began painting a site-specific pieces on the glass window of the shop.

Anthony Lister uses comic book imagery for his own means, redirecting popular culture for personal expression. Heroes and villains are taken out of the panel and placed in a new space, devoid of the usual storyline, dialogue and scenery. His paintings are not controlled by cartoon context; rather, the figures in these portraits are reinvented through the artist's hand. His mixed media technique, involving layers of ink, spray and brushwork, allows his paintings to simultaneously have a soft, ethereal and garish, raw energy. You can see more about his work through his official website."
