intro
Tonight in L.A., Junk Food Art House Presents Anthony Lister. For an entire month, world-renown Aussie street artist Lister's pieces will be yours to gaze at if you manage to get yourself over to see it. We promise it's worth it.
Lister is known for his imagery of superheroes. "Decidedly, I have chosen to use comic book characters as metaphor to reference ancient mythological battles between heroes and villains, authority figures and survivalists, pseudo-equality and the general human condition today," says Lister. Deep, right?
Check out the gallery we've put together of a few pieces you'll be able to see at the exhibit. They promise even more excitement at the launch, so do make sure you stop by.
Junk Food Art House Presents Anthony Lister will take place tonight, Friday, July 29, from 8 to 11 p.m. at HVW8 Art + Design Gallery (661 N. Spaulding Ave. / Los Angeles, CA 90036), and the exhibition will be on view until August 29, 2011.
