Adam Lister, Warhol Dollar (2022)

Warhol Dollar, 2022

Unique work. 8 x 10 inches. Watercolor paint on 140lb arches paper.

Born in 1978, Adam Lister received his B.F.A. in painting from The School of Visual Arts in New York in 2003. Inspired by the 8-bit graphics of Atari and Nintendo game consoles, Lister’s unique style deliberately avoids all use of diagonal and curved lines and echoes the geometric structure of Cubism. He says “My process deals with taking the memory of an image, and highlighting its complexity and simplicity at the same time. These paintings are influenced by geometric thinking and a desire to capture the briefness of a mental picture.”
