BROOKLYN STREET ART LOVES YOU MORE EVERY DAY“I’d always been tagging at skate parks, hanging out with graffiti kids – but I was always the kid who could draw figures. I’ve always drawn what was around me. I was encouraged to do that from a young age.”

An artist at work is captured by another artist at work. Jean-Pierre Caner directs a new video of Anthony Lister as he prepared for his show at New Image Art in Los Angeles this spring, which closes today. Full of insights into the Street Artist/Fine Artist continuum that Anthony freely traverses, the shots, rhythmic sensitivity, and detail of the video piece are an unobtrusive complement to the work of the artist.

“I test myself in my books. I test myself in my paintings. In the street I just want to enjoy it. I’m not out there in the street really trying to prove anything. …that’s just what I do for fun.”
Directed by Jean-Pierre Caner With special thanks to: Shaz Bennett, Marsea Goldberg, Kris Denton, Jill Morley, Paul Ramirez/Chalk
