ARTIST BIO

B. 1978 NEW YORK, USA

Born in Beacon, New York, Adam Lister is a multi-disciplinary artist most well known for his geometric interpretations of iconic imagery and pop culture references. Deconstructing classic images down to its most elemental form, Lister explores and combines geometric shapes, flat cubist-like compositions, and the minimal aesthetic of pixelated graphics to visually capture mental images — highlighting the complexity and simplicity of the imagination and visual imagery.

CREATIVE INSPIRATION

Delving into the relationship of nostalgia and mathematics, Lister reimagines the classic original Ape Head logo in his pixelated painting technique. One of five paintings in a series, this work explores color (yellows contrasted with blacks) to capture the essence of BAPE®.
