Anthony Lister’s superhero art

Oh wow, this is great stuff. Anthony Lister creates paintings (and some sculptures) that poke fun at, and pay tribute to, your favourite superheroes.

(Thanks, Graeme!)

    Wow is right — these paintings are awesome.
    They remind of the artwork of Gilles Barbier, whose sculpture was in the Whitney a few years back.

    These are really terrific pieces. They remain iconic and recognizable through the artist’s modernist technique.
    Puts me in the mind of Katz, Bacon or Wesselman. Art rocks!
    More of it in American schools!

    Filter Jim Dine through early Hockney and Blake, add DC comics, extract all talent, call it Lister.

    Now this is a whole new way to look at comic book superheroes, huh? That kind of art amazes me! It’s not something I can do though, so I guess I’m stuck working on my comic. Oh well, do what you can right?

    Great stuff, glad you posted it up for us! ^_^
