New Artist | Graham Lister
Posted by Kim Soep on
This November, joining our growing roster of artists is Glasgow-based painter and researcher Graham Lister. He divides his time between his studio and GSA (Glasgow School of Art) where he works as a lecturer in Painting and Printmaking, and where he previously gained a practice-based PhD. He also has a MFA from Gray's School of Art, Aberdeen, and an MA in Art History from Glasgow University.
Lister's research-based practice is concerned with breaking visual codes. Through gradual abstraction, repitition and personal artistic writing, Lister's paintings recontextualise space, surface and material elements. A handwritten note, the play of sunlight on the wall, wallpaper and brushstrokes are isolated and deconstructed to a point of no recognition. He describes his practice as a way to distill "physical forms, surfaces and visual gestures."
