OxyBunny Blotter Paper Limited Edition Archival Pigment Print Art on Perforated Blotter Paper by Ben Frost pop culture LSD artwork. Archival Pigment Print on Perforated Blotter Paper Size: 7.5 x 7.5 Inches Release: April 19, 2021 Limited blotter editions are hand-perforated by Zane Kesey & may vary slightly from the example shown. The essence of Frost’s commentary is established on the basis of subverting the meaning and the messages, promoted by the mainstream media. In other words and, as he has stated in the past: “The less you fill your mind with the trappings of advertising and bad television, the more space you have in your brain for things of value”. At the same time, his take on modern pop culture is equally compelling. Mainstream media, advertisements, and politics can be identified as some of his main fields of interest, which he utilizes and mixes up in a controversial formation. The word controversial is not used incidentally. What Ben Frost’s art is doing is, essentially, the appropriation and weaponization of imagery against the same system that gave birth to it.

Ben Frost Bugged Out- Oversized Edition Archival Print by Ben Frost
Bugged Out- Oversized Edition Archival Pigment Fine Art Limited Edition Print on 290gsm Somerset Hot Press Fine Art Paper by Modern Pop Street Graffiti Artist Ben Frost. Warner Brothers Loony Toons Bugs Bunny Signed & Numbered Weed Tests Archival Pigment Print on 290gsm Somerset Hot Press Fine Art Paper Size: 20 x 20 Inches Release: November 26, 2021 Run of: 25 It is not random that a great portion of his art consists of appropriated imagery of animations, just like the Looney Tunes which are placed into a new artistic context, without losing their original connotations. This visual re-branding of such imagery, that Frost is displaying in his work, is nostalgic enough in order for us to feel instantly familiar with it, but, at the same time, disturbing, so that it grabs our attention and we cannot help but focus on it.

Ben Frost Bugged Out Original Acrylic Painting by Ben Frost
Bugged Out Original One of a Kind Acrylic Painting Artwork on Marijuana Test Packaging by Popular Street Graffiti Artist Ben Frost. Signed Original Warner Brothers Loony Toons Bugs Bunny Weed Tests Acrylic on At-Home Marijuana Drug Test Box Size: 7.3125 x 5.375 Inches Release: November 26, 2021 Depicting Bugs Bunny from Looney Tunes Cartoon TV Fame on a Real upcycled Marijuana Drug Test Box. Ben Frost's innovative artistry consistently pushes the boundaries of contemporary street and graffiti art. A prime example of this can be found in his "Bugged Out" piece, an original acrylic painting masterfully created on an actual at-home marijuana drug test package. This intriguing artwork measures 7.3125 x 5.375 inches and was unveiled on November 26, 2021. Drawing from the rich pop culture tapestry, Frost chose to depict the iconic Bugs Bunny from Warner Brothers' beloved Looney Tunes series. The mischievous smile and familiar pose of the cartoon rabbit is instantly recognizable, offering a dash of nostalgia. However, it's the contrast of this playful character with the serious undertones of a marijuana drug test that creates a powerful visual and conceptual juxtaposition. This choice stimulates conversation about societal norms, substance use, and the evolving landscape of popular culture. Using an upcycled drug test box as his canvas, Frost challenges the traditional paradigms of art. It speaks to the ethos of street and graffiti art, where unconventional mediums are often embraced to make bold statements. The decision to pair Bugs Bunny with this particular backdrop is not merely aesthetic; it invites viewers to ponder the interplay between recreational substances and the entertainment world and how perceptions change over time. In "Bugged Out", Ben Frost has once again demonstrated his uncanny ability to intertwine cultural icons with contemporary issues, delivering a piece that resonates on multiple levels and solidifying his reputation as a visionary in street art.
