Scott Listfield The Reef Giclee Print
The Reef by Scott Listfield is a 2023 limited edition print that merges environmental narrative with the contemplative tone associated with Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. The composition is divided dramatically by the waterline. Above the surface, Listfield’s signature astronaut sits quietly atop an ornate circular platform crowned with a monumental golden hand sculpture. The sky is open and calm, suggesting stillness and detachment. Below the surface, however, an expansive coral reef structure descends into rich blue depths, teeming with marine life and clusters of vivid orange fish. This vertical contrast between serenity and ecological complexity creates a visual metaphor about visibility, awareness, and the unseen systems sustaining life.
Environmental Symbolism and the Astronaut Motif
Scott Listfield, born in 1976 in the United States, remains active and is widely recognized for his recurring astronaut figure. The astronaut functions as a stand-in for contemporary humanity, navigating landscapes shaped by consumer culture, environmental change, and symbolic monuments. In The Reef, the astronaut appears passive, observing rather than interacting. This detachment heightens the tension between the artificial sculptural platform above and the organic reef ecosystem below. Coral reefs are among the most fragile and essential marine habitats on Earth, and their presence here underscores concerns surrounding climate change and ocean degradation. Within Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, Listfield’s work shifts the conversation from urban walls to planetary scale, maintaining the narrative clarity of street-influenced imagery while expanding its thematic scope.
Edition Details and Archival Quality
The Reef is produced as a signed and numbered limited edition of 100, measuring 18 by 24 inches. The giclee process on 310gsm museum grade archival fine art paper ensures color depth, tonal accuracy, and long-term preservation. The layered blues of the ocean and the textured coral formations benefit from high-resolution pigment printing, capturing fine details that reinforce the immersive underwater atmosphere. As a work aligned with Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, this piece balances refined print production with conceptual urgency, making it a compelling addition for collectors drawn to narrative-driven contemporary art with environmental resonance.
