Lister's work

Lister's work suggest influences from a number of areas and genres, including street art, expressionism, pop art, and his notorious heroin addiction. It often deals with subject matter from popular culture, reflecting the less glamorous aspects. He occasionally draws from television and such themes as the "misguided role models" that result. He has said that "Australians are raised by Americans on TV" and also that "TV is the contemporary mode of meditation" [ [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQBFzh9qsvI Interview with Anthony Lister] , retrieved on August 2nd 2007.] . Lister's own children have had a profound impact on the way he creates art; he has been inspired by "watching what [his] own children are watching on tv" and "what they're bombarded with" [ [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQBFzh9qsvI Interview with Anthony Lister] , retrieved on August 2nd 2007.] . He has often stated that he is not trying to make a statement with his work but to reflect the world around him.

He often has reoccuring themes in his art but probably most famous for his Monkey (Chi-Chi)& Superhero paintings.Fact|date=September 2008
