Lady with an Ermine

Adam Lister, an American artist who is best known for exploiting pop
culture and famous art history through his pixelated executions.
“CONFIGURATION” will feature a selection of Adam's geometric reductive
watercolor paintings. The work for this exhibit includes
reinterpretations based on iconic paintings of women from art history.
Combining the deconstructed and minimal aesthetic of pixelated graphics
with the soft transparency of watercolor paint, the artist breaks down
these classic images to their most elemental forms. Lister explores the
relationship of nostalgia and mathematics, taking on subjects that hold a
collective familiarity and reducing them to flat cubist-like
compositions. The process deals with taking a memory of an image and
highlighting its complexity and simplicity at the same time. These
paintings are influenced by geometric thinking and a desire to capture
the briefness of a mental picture. Lister’s curiosity surrounding visual
perception and spatial arrangement plays in the way that he describes
each image with a specific level of clarity.
