Lister, with this original watercolor painting on 140lb cold-press watercolor fine art paper, delves into the realm of pop art through a street art lens, offering a unique and compelling interpretation that captures the playful essence and graphic boldness associated with Murakami's style. Dated and signed in 2023, the artwork, sized at a precise 8.5x8.5 inches, presents a meticulous arrangement of hues and shapes, revealing Lister's mastery over the medium and his ability to translate complex visual languages into his distinct voice. Lister's work exemplifies the principles of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork through its accessible imagery, clear lines, and the profound depth of its apparent simplicity. The piece resonates with the vibrancy of street art and the keen sensibility of pop art, capturing the observer's imagination with its playful geometry and familiar yet fresh aesthetic. Each color block within the piece is meticulously placed, contributing to an overall harmony. At the same time, the apparent influence of digital pixelation and 8-bit graphics nods to the modern era's intersection with traditional techniques. The Intersection of Digital and Traditional in Modern Art The painting serves as a reflection on the intersection of digital and traditional media in modern art. Lister's choice to employ watercolor, a medium often associated with more classical art forms, in depicting a decidedly modern and pop-culture-oriented subject is a conscious celebration of the versatility and enduring relevance of traditional artistic methods in the digital age. This blending of old and new is at the heart of Lister's approach, which frequently involves reimagining iconic images from popular culture through the lens of his geometric abstraction. In "Tribute to Murakami #1," Lister plays with the concept of pixelation, where each square serves as a reminder of the digital screens that dominate contemporary life. However, using watercolors, he breathes life into the pixels, transforming them into a fluid and dynamic arrangement that seems to pulsate with organic energy. This deliberate juxtaposition elevates the piece beyond mere replication, allowing Lister to explore themes of technology, art history, and visual perception within a unified work. Collectibility and Cultural Significance of Lister's Work The collectibility and cultural significance of Adam Lister's "Tribute to Murakami #1" are intrinsic to its creation. As a signed, one-of-a-kind piece, it occupies a unique place in the art market, appealing to collectors who value the originality and thoughtfulness of Lister's vision. The fact that the title and date are inscribed on the back further authenticates the work, ensuring that it is recognized and valued as a genuine Lister creation. Lister's work, particularly this piece, contributes to the ongoing dialogue between street art and the broader art world. It encapsulates the essence of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, which often seeks to break down barriers between 'high' and 'low' culture, questioning the hierarchies that traditionally govern art valuation. In "Tribute to Murakami #1," Lister respects a figure known for doing precisely that while establishing his place within the contemporary art narrative. In essence, "Tribute to Murakami #1" by Adam Lister celebrates the convergence of street art sensibilities with pop culture references rendered through watercolor. This piece is a testament to the evolving nature of art in the public domain, the continual blurring of lines between different movements, and how contemporary artists like Lister reshape the landscape of visual culture.

Flower Vase HPM Risograph Print by MCXT- Monica Canilao x Xara Thustra Riso Print on Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Artwork. 2023 Stamped Mark on Back  HPM Embellished Limited Edition Artwork Size 7x8.5 Mild Crease Across Middle, Does Not Affect Overall Presentation Flower Vase HPM Risograph Print by MCXT: Collaborative Layers of Identity in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork The Flower Vase HPM Risograph Print by MCXT—an artist collective composed of Monica Canilao and Xara Thustra—presents a layered, thought-provoking fusion of symbolism, activism, and material experimentation. Created in 2023, this limited edition 7 x 8.5 inch print on fine art paper merges risograph printing with hand-painted embellishments, making each piece a unique variation within a shared conceptual framework. The initials HPM refer to Hand Painted Multiple, which emphasizes the individual attention and craftsmanship given to each edition. Stamped on the reverse to certify its authenticity, this print operates at the crossroads of fine art and protest culture, reinforcing MCXT’s ethos of resistance, identity, and transformation through collaborative creation. Symbolic Imagery and Hidden Messaging At first glance, the Flower Vase Risograph Print appears as a tranquil floral composition, centered around a bold orange vase filled with abstract botanicals. Upon closer inspection, the piece reveals a more intricate and layered composition involving hidden text, translucent motifs, and faint echoes of anatomical and architectural elements. Embedded in the center is the faintly visible image of a saxophone, subtly forming the stem of the central bloom—an emblem of both improvisation and expression. Faint text appears above the vase, partially obscured by leafy overlays and risograph gradients, asking the viewer to confront themes of censorship, freedom of identity, and emotional honesty. The surrounding embellishments include stenciled circles, starburst patterns, and holographic stickers, all adding a dimensional, near-sacred quality to the work. Monica Canilao and Xara Thustra’s Collaborative Process As MCXT, Monica Canilao and Xara Thustra merge their distinct visual languages into a singular voice that speaks to marginalized identity, radical love, and cultural reclamation. Monica Canilao, based in Oakland, California, is known for her intricate mixed-media work using found materials and references to folk traditions. Xara Thustra, also a Bay Area icon, gained prominence through politically charged graffiti, public murals, and zines that challenge binary constructs and consumer-driven culture. Together, their work in the MCXT collective channels a mix of spiritual resonance and punk sensibility. This print, like much of their output, challenges the viewer to question what is decorative versus what is dissent. Riso Aesthetics as a Tool of Resistance in Pop Street Forms The use of risograph printing is not merely aesthetic but political. It speaks to underground publishing, DIY zine culture, and community-accessible production methods. The imperfect textures, overlapping tones, and color registration flaws are embraced as part of the visual identity of the work. These imperfections contrast the slickness of commercial art, aligning MCXT’s production with grassroots art activism. The additional hand-painted elements in the Flower Vase HPM Print turn each version into a one-of-a-kind expression, reaffirming the collective’s belief in autonomy and impermanence within art-making. As a piece of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, it is both a visual poem and a quiet rally cry—a message coded in color, form, and spirit.
