Work
Starting around 2010, Xist's combined appreciation for pop art with a love for street art influenced yet another direction expressed in a stylized series of new characters.Each new character created resulted from the juxtaposition of icons, each in a unique way, to reveal a new perspective that intends to interrupt our previously held expectations by changing the context to reveal novelty within the familiar.By choosing to share his work on familiar but unconventional surfaces that range from worthless repurposed found objects to overvalued sheets of uncut currency and unused stamps each new work of art is assigned a new layer of meaning as the perception of value fluxuates.The shift in 'value' is the focus of this new work as it seeks to disrupt our unconsciously held beliefs in a world where value and values are in constant flux based upon their context.
