Street art from Anthony Lister, an Australian who is now living in New York City, is located throughout Shoreditch in London. I first discovered the large pieces in Corbet Place in the instantly-recognisable style. These include a series of slightly out-of-focus eyes. Another large piece is located in a car park near Shoreditch's Box Park. As I mentioned, the style of painting is recognisable. Black is used to outline, and light shades of pale blue and red can be seen to add additional detail. The artwork mainly depicts human features, such as eyes and faces. The following pieces on a wall in Corbet Place look like they are watching all passing by.
Paste-ups, stickers, and other small drawings bearing the name of the artist can be discovered in all corners of Shoreditch. On two separate walls near some other street art, I discovered the same "moon face" doodle with the name of the artist and the year.
Similar doodles and paste-ups were discovered on this wall, at the corner of Brick Lane and Bethnal Green Road, which is plastered in street art.
