Picture preview: Anthony Lister's fan boys and superheroes
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Comic-strip inspired prints of ‘fan boys' (a term for obsessive hobbyists, usually male) and superheroes will go on show at the Pictures on Walls Gallery in London tomorrow.
It will be the first custom print show for Brisbane-based artist Anthony Lister whose variety of alter-egos will stare down from the 100 colourful works on display.
The artworks subvert familiar characters and tropes within the animated and graphic artwork sphere, examining good and evil, violence and humour – recasting villains as heroes and heroes as villains.
The ‘Fan Boy’ works, which POW describes as “halfway between an original painting and a silk screen print”, are reflective of his eclectic blend of styles.
New paintings and stickers will also be on show alongside the prints until 22 July.
