For the last six months or so, Mum and I have been driving past a wall on the way to my brother's house. Now, it had some great artwork on it by an artist going by the name of Lister.
I just Googled his name and came up with Anthony Lister from New York who has been here in Australia doing some outsider art around Brisbane; and not getting very far with it. On his official site I have found more of his art which was removed from Fortitude Valley here in Brisbane; and when I've brought up the photos of the wall mural I took on Christmas Day, I compared the style to the work on his site and found so many similarities.
The last piece of work ( http://365project.org/loey5150/365/2010-08-13) called Mural, was demolished when a building was pulled down. Fortunately, my Mum took a photo of it and showed me. We both thought it looked wicked. And this new work looks even better! Let's hope it stays longer than the wall did.
That's really interesting artwork.

I'm always on the lookout for interesting art everywhere; no matter how ugly it seems, somebody put a lot of time into it.
ReplyDeleteAnthony Lister is well-known for his work and I don't know why he's not more recognised here for his public works.
