Ben Frost Can't Sleep Clowns Will Eat Me- 17 x 17 Archival Print by Ben Frost
Can't Sleep Clowns Will Eat Me- 17 x 17 Limited Edition Archival Pigment Prints on 310gsm Museum Natural Fine Art Paper by Ben Frost Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. "The world is run by clowns. Moronic and colorful, they dance across our television screens touting surreal propaganda and advertising slogans in a bizarre theatrical performance without intermission. No wonder I have trouble sleeping.? I use mini-dialogues that come together to make up an overall pastiche, that reflects how I see the world – especially as it is delivered to us through the media. In these 'mash-up' paintings, countless characters exist and interact within the same picture plane, to create a frenetic snapshot of the chaos that we endure in our every-day lives. " - Ben Frost Ben Frost is utilizing imagery familiar to western culture in order to make a statement about the culture itself on the basis of consumerism, modern icons, big corporations, etc. Animation characters, pop icons, brand logos, and many more are transformed into vibrant artworks and find their place in galleries. With this in mind, and in the case of Ben Frost, it is futile to try to identify a clear borderline between low and high art. In reality, the artist wants the audience to think on the terms of high or low value and, by extension, what these actually mean. Over the years street artists have managed to establish themselves as respected creators and some of them have even gained international fame, transforming graffiti from a fringe art, aiming sometimes to mark street gangs’ territory, into big business.

New in Box. The collaboration between Disney, Apportfolio, and celebrated contemporary artist Daniel Arsham has led to the creation of an extraordinary piece of collectible art: the Hollow Mickey Grey Resin Sculpture. This limited edition piece, which showcases Arsham's unique vision within pop and street art, is an emblematic reinterpretation of the iconic Disney character Mickey Mouse. Created in 2020, the sculpture is a profound statement that merges the playful essence of Mickey Mouse with the edgy and often ephemeral energy found in street art. This Hollow Mickey piece is not just a representation of the beloved character; it's a physical manifestation of the passage of time—a recurring theme in Arsham's work. The sculpture is skillfully cast in grey resin, encapsulating a ghost-like form that seems absent and present. It encapsulates the fleeting nature of pop culture, preserving the momentary in a form that feels as if it has been excavated from the distant future. With dimensions of 17x16x17.25 inches, the artwork has a commanding presence that captures attention and provokes contemplation. Limited to just 500 pieces, each sculpture is stamped, underscoring the authenticity and exclusivity of the artwork. Collectors of Arsham's work appreciate not just the aesthetic and emotional appeal but also the fine art aspect of this limited-edition series. It stands at the intersection of pop art and fine art, an accessible piece that is charged with the intellectual depth of contemporary art practices. Arsham's Hollow Mickey challenges the boundaries between traditional sculpture, street art, and pop culture iconography. It is a perfect example of how modern street artists can take ubiquitous symbols from popular media and infuse them with a sense of history, decay, and the sublime. This piece doesn't merely represent a character; it symbolizes the temporal relationship we have with cultural icons and our ever-changing engagement with art and nostalgia. As such, it holds a mirror to the viewer, inviting a personal interpretation that resonates with the fleeting nature of time and the enduring quality of a cultural phenomenon.
