By placing the character in a contemporary cityscape alongside his astronaut figure, Listfield draws attention to the enduring impact of these cultural artifacts and their ability to inspire awe across generations. The inclusion of Soundwave’s tape deck elements connects the piece to the analog era of music and entertainment, a recurring theme in Listfield’s work. This nostalgic reference contrasts with the futuristic tones of the robot and the urban backdrop, creating a dialogue between past and present. The astronaut, often used as a stand-in for the viewer, adds an element of introspection, encouraging the audience to reflect on their own experiences with pop culture and its role in shaping personal and collective identities.

Printed on fine art paper using archival inks, the artwork captures the vibrant colors and subtle textures that define Listfield’s style. The 16 by 20-inch format allows for an immersive viewing experience, showcasing the intricate mechanical details of Soundwave and the atmospheric tones of the cityscape. The high-quality materials ensure the longevity of the print, making it a valuable addition to any art collection. Each print in this limited edition of 50 is signed and numbered by the artist, adding a layer of authenticity and exclusivity. The small edition size enhances its desirability among collectors, offering a rare opportunity to own a piece of Listfield’s thought-provoking exploration of pop culture and Street Pop Art. Scott Listfield: Blending Surrealism and Cultural Nostalgia Scott Listfield has gained acclaim for his unique ability to combine surreal landscapes with iconic elements of pop culture. His astronaut figure, often placed in unexpected settings, serves as a vehicle for exploring themes of isolation, wonder, and the human connection to technology and media. Soundwave is a quintessential example of his approach, blending nostalgia for a beloved Transformers character with the introspective tone of his astronaut narrative. Through works like Soundwave, Listfield continues to redefine the boundaries of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork, using his distinctive style to engage viewers in a dialogue about culture, memory, and imagination. This piece not only celebrates the legacy of Soundwave as a pop culture icon but also invites audiences to consider their own role as participants in the ever-evolving story of cultural expression.

Adam Lister Optimus Prime Transformer Archival Print by Adam Lister
Optimus Prime Transformer Archival Print by Adam Lister Limited Edition on 300gsm Hot Press Matte Fine Art Paper Pop Graffiti Street Artist Modern Artwork. 2023 Signed & Numbered Print Limited Edition of 50 Artwork Size 6x8 Archival Pigment Fine Art Optimus Prime Transformer Standing in Glitch Style. Optimus Prime: A Modern Artifact in Pop Art Expression In the dynamic interplay between popular culture and art, the figure of Optimus Prime stands as a monumental icon. Adam Lister's 2023 archival print captures the formidable Transformer leader in a style that harmonizes the aesthetic of vintage video games with the cutting-edge trends of contemporary art. This limited edition series, with only 50 pieces in existence, is a testament to the exclusive nature that is often sought after in the domains of pop graffiti and street art. Each print is meticulously crafted on 300gsm Hot Press Matte Fine Art Paper, lending a tangible quality to the otherwise digital nature of the glitch art style. Lister's interpretation of Optimus Prime in a glitch style serves as a powerful visual narrative that delves into themes of heroism, technology, and transformation. The use of archival pigment ensures that each fine art piece not only vividly presents the character but also withstands the test of time, much like the enduring legacy of the Transformers franchise itself. The 6x8 size of the artwork invites the viewer to engage with the piece on a personal level, resonating with the intimate experience of viewing street pop art in a public space. From Animation to Archival Print: The Evolution of a Leader The evolution of Optimus Prime from an animated character to a subject of fine art is a reflection of the changing perceptions of what constitutes art in the modern era. As a central figure in the Transformers saga, Optimus Prime embodies qualities of leadership, strength, and moral integrity. Lister's decision to capture this character in the pixelated glitch style speaks volumes about the intersection of childhood influences with the sophistication of modern art. The transformation of this character from the screen to a limited edition print mirrors the transformation of street art from an underground movement to a respected form of artistic expression. This particular piece by Adam Lister draws on the nostalgia of the 1980s, the era when the Transformers first captured the imaginations of children and adults alike. By portraying Optimus Prime in a modernist art form, Lister bridges the gap between past and present, offering commentary on the enduring influence of pop culture icons. His work also alludes to the transformation of media, highlighting the progression from hand-drawn animations to digital creations, and now, to mixed media artworks that fuse digital design with traditional fine art printing techniques. Adam Lister and the Aesthetic of Digital Nostalgia Adam Lister, an artist from the United States, is renowned for his ability to distill complex images into their geometric essences. By choosing to depict Optimus Prime, a character often associated with change and adaptability, Lister reflects on the transformative power of art. His unique approach to fine art — drawing inspiration from street pop art and graffiti artwork — challenges the traditional boundaries of artistic mediums. Optimus Prime, as portrayed by Lister, is not just a representation of a character but an embodiment of the digital age's influence on art. The glitch style, with its suggestion of digital fragmentation and reconstruction, echoes the digital world's impact on culture and society. Lister's work is a dialogue with the viewer, inviting them to consider the role of technology in art and the power of pop culture icons to transcend their original mediums. Through his limited edition prints, Adam Lister provides collectors and enthusiasts with the opportunity to own a piece of art that is at once a modern artifact and a nod to the past. The Optimus Prime print, standing in bold colors and sharp lines, is a celebration of pop culture's capacity to inspire and the artist's skill in harnessing this inspiration to create something unique and thought-provoking. It is a testament to the continuing relevance of characters like Optimus Prime and the ability of art to transform them into new forms for new audiences.
