‘LET YOUR HAIR DOWN', 2007.
MIXED MEDIA ON CANVAS
In a world where distinctions of good and bad are better understood in the context of cartoons, or global politics according to Anthony Lister "Superman might as well be Jesus".
The New-York-based artist returns to his home country with the didactic MYTHOLOGY FOR BEGINNERS, a response to the media-saturated ideas of heavies such as religion and social structure.
Offering basic lessons in modern theology such as (‘It's not who you know, it's who you beat up that counts!'), and modern etiquette (‘The old strip and squat'), Lister usurps our Manichean beliefs, teasing as he goes. Because really, there's no use looking to Ted Haggard or Paris Hilton for grand answers is there?
