thetouristzine: Ben Frost is a Sydney-based painter that has exhibited the world over. A true pop artist, Frost’s paintings fulfill an almost ‘exorcistic’ function since they playfully expel the branding, characters and messaging that we’re bombarded with each day. Working with acrylic and aerosol on board and canvas, Frost’s work is irreverent yet full of commentary. He reconstructs both our idols and the iconography that drives us to consume to not only strip them of their influence but expose their general inanity as well.
