POP BUBBLEGUM: BEN FROST

Thursday, September 30, 2010

BEN FROST

Australian Artist, Ben Frost creates a series of collages, which feature a unique composition. The cute, adorable cartoons are positioned besides quite explicit, even grotesque characters. Even the innocent figures appear to be interacting with another object or they either appear to be doing something inappropriate, which detracts them from their fantasy world.

Frost attempts to emphasize how the 20^th century has become completely addicted to consumerism and ‘advertising’. The public has also found his work to be rather offensive, even inappropriate and someone actually destroyed his paintings with a ‘knife’. From discovering Ben Frost’s sinister, yet sexual contemporary collages, I have gained some other ideas that I would like to develop further[1].
