Painter Adam Lister uses a pixelated style to reproduce recognizable images taken from pop culture and Western art history. His fragmented geometric canvases nod to Cubism but also have ties to 8-bit graphics. Formerly a decorative mosaic tile artist, Lister developed elemental arrangements after receiving his BFA in painting from the School of Visual Arts in 2003. His paintings, often sold in the form of limited-edition prints, have made him an online sensation, with more than 71,000 followers on Instagram. In 2021, Lister widened his collector base by entering the NFT market. He has also collaborated with brands like BAPE, VHTS, and Medicom Toy to translate his playful visuals into apparel and 3D figurines.
