Lyons Wier Gallery is pleased to present Anthony Lister's second solo exhibition with the gallery, How to Catch a Time Traveler. The exhibition follows directly on the heals of Lister's 50-foot, site-specific mural, "Red Dot", created for the Pulse Art Fair, NYC (2010), showcasing Lister's undeniable signature style that has garnered him international acclaim.

Known in the Low Brow movement for his intriguing, playful hybrid of street art, expressionism, and cubism all manifested in non-traditional media such as spray paint. In his latest series, Lister continues his examination of pop culture and how a generation raised on American television processes and interprets the symbols and imagery of their youth. The result is gender bending cartoon characters, and superheroes such as Wonder Woman and Bat Girl, that uncover the unconscious sexual desires and repressed taboos embedded in these seemingly innocuous popular icons. Lister's practice is indeed about reality. A reality his work does not claim to resolve, but rather to question, loudly.

The FLAG Art Foundation is pleased to present "Size DOES Matter", curated by basketball legend Shaquille O'Neal. This exciting exhibition, on view from February 19, 2010 - May 27, 2010, includes works from international artists exploring the myriad ways that scale affects the perception of contemporary art. Included is work from gallery artist James Rieck's collection "Issues with Authority". Through amplified scale and severe cropping, Rieck's painting "Cops" re-contextualizes the source material to draw attention to the obvious as well as the subtle psychological underpinnings of the model and the viewer. Pared down to just slivers, politically and sexually charged, Rieck's paintings dominate and titillate the viewer into near arrest.
