Yogi on Xanax- Black 7-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Mohawk Superfine UltraWhite Paper by Ben Frost Rare Street Art Famous Pop Artwork Artist. 2022 Signed & Numbered Ben Frost Yogi on Xanax, 7-color Hand-Pulled Screen Print on Mohawk Superfine UltraWhite, 160 lb Cover 24 x24 in., 61 x 61 cm Edition of 25, signed & numbered by the artist Printed by POP!NK Editions Yogi on Xanax by Ben Frost – Pop Culture Intervention in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Yogi on Xanax is a 2022 limited edition 7-color hand-pulled silkscreen print by Australian-born artist Ben Frost, printed on 160 lb Mohawk Superfine UltraWhite cover paper. Measuring 24 x 24 inches, this silkscreen print was produced in a signed and numbered edition of just 25, crafted under the direction of POP!NK Editions. Known for his subversive blending of pop culture icons with controversial subject matter, Frost delivers a provocative image that fuses the innocence of Yogi Bear with the cold design language of a pharmaceutical Xanax label. This juxtaposition forces a confrontation between humor and critique, childhood nostalgia and chemical dependency, all while maintaining the graphic vibrancy and clean execution that define his studio practice. The piece is bold, glossy, and ironic—designed to trigger recognition and unsettle the viewer simultaneously. Pharmaceutical Satire and Cartoon Familiarity Collide Ben Frost’s work routinely challenges the sanitized narratives of consumer branding and media imagery. In Yogi on Xanax, the use of Yogi Bear—an animated figure associated with carefree antics and childhood television—is purposefully misaligned with the clinical, regulated world of prescription medication. The cheerful cartoon smile and brightly saturated colors stand in contrast to the red-labeled warnings and dosage marks of Xanax packaging. The artwork explores themes of escapism, emotional suppression, and the commercialization of health, suggesting that even the most innocent symbols are not immune to societal pressures. Frost’s treatment of iconography reflects the strategies central to Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, where visual language is repurposed to expose hidden truths and cultural contradictions. Printing Technique, Surface Quality, and Material Precision Executed with precision on Mohawk Superfine UltraWhite paper, the 7-color silkscreen process ensures that every layer of ink sits cleanly atop the surface, producing striking contrast and tonal balance. This heavy-weight paper enhances the density of color and preserves the integrity of each line and text detail. The silkscreen technique, a mainstay of pop art production since the era of Andy Warhol, allows Frost to replicate the flat commercial style of packaging design while embedding it with sharp conceptual tension. Each print is signed and hand-numbered, reinforcing its collectibility and placing it within the canon of fine-edition Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. POP!NK Editions’ involvement in the production guarantees a gallery-level standard of finish, ensuring that each print is not only conceptually rich but also technically flawless. Ben Frost’s Cultural Commentary Through Brand Distortion Ben Frost continues to push the boundaries of what pop imagery can convey in a critical, ironic, and visually arresting format. Yogi on Xanax operates on multiple levels—as parody, as product, and as visual disruption. It pulls from the mass media archive and reintroduces familiar icons with new, unsettling associations. This is central to the strategy of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, where repetition, appropriation, and recontextualization are not just aesthetic choices but radical acts. By placing a figure like Yogi Bear in the frame of medical necessity and emotional regulation, Frost questions how society assigns meaning and value to images. His art reflects a world where cartoons sell pills and pills sell calm, a world where branding and identity collapse into one unified surface. Yogi on Xanax is not just pop art—it is a sharp and unapologetic reflection of contemporary visual culture.

Yogi on Xanax 9-Color Hand-Pulled Limited Edition Silkscreen Print on Mohawk Superfine UltraWhite Paper by Ben Frost Rare Street Art Famous Pop Artwork Artist. 2022 Signed & Numbered Ben Frost Yogi on Xanax, 9-color Hand-Pulled Screen Print on Mohawk Superfine UltraWhite, 160 lb Cover 24 x24 in., 61 x 61 cm Edition of 50, signed & numbered by the artist Printed by POP!NK Editions Yogi on Xanax by Ben Frost – Consumer Critique in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Yogi on Xanax is a 2022 limited edition 9-color hand-pulled screen print by contemporary Australian artist Ben Frost, printed on 160 lb Mohawk Superfine UltraWhite cover stock in a 24 x 24 inch format. Signed and numbered in an edition of 50, this bold silkscreen work was produced by POP!NK Editions, renowned for their meticulous craftsmanship in contemporary art print production. The piece combines pharmaceutical packaging design with nostalgic cartoon imagery to produce a visually explosive and conceptually loaded commentary on modern consumer culture. Frost inserts the wide-eyed face of Yogi Bear into the unmistakable layout of a Xanax prescription label, transforming an innocent animated figure into a symbol of medication culture, psychological sedation, and branded addiction. Pharma Design Meets Cartoon Chaos Ben Frost is internationally known for his provocative use of pop culture iconography, and Yogi on Xanax exemplifies his strategy of visual collision. The imagery reappropriates the familiar Xanax box, typically associated with clinical calm, and injects it with the erratic energy of Yogi Bear’s wide grin and hypnotic spiral eye. The polished pharmaceutical layout clashes with the expressive cartoon illustration, creating a moment of visual and conceptual tension. Frost’s technique exposes the strange intersection between happiness, dependence, and entertainment. By overlaying humor onto something serious, he invites viewers to question how commercial products—from children's cartoons to anxiety medications—are embedded into cultural behavior and identity. This blend of absurdity and critique is central to Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, where language and imagery from mass culture are subverted for public commentary. Material Precision and Production Integrity The print’s execution on Mohawk Superfine UltraWhite paper ensures a pristine, high-fidelity surface that supports the layered ink of the 9-color silkscreen process. The heavyweight 160 lb cover stock provides durability and a gallery-quality finish, elevating the piece from poster to collectible artwork. Each color is individually hand-pulled, resulting in rich, solid applications that enhance the saturation and intensity of Frost’s bold graphics. The print’s 24 x 24 inch dimensions offer a perfect square composition, aligning the clinical symmetry of packaging design with the oversized personality of Yogi Bear’s warped cartoon form. Frost’s decision to preserve the integrity of the Xanax design while inserting his own subversive visuals makes this work a standout example of pop art precision with street-level satire. Ben Frost and the Visual Language of Commercial Rebellion Ben Frost continues to be a defining voice in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, using the language of branding, packaging, and iconography to reflect the contradictions of contemporary life. In Yogi on Xanax, he exploits the comfort of nostalgia to highlight uncomfortable truths. The cartoon becomes the messenger for a culture that medicates joy and aestheticizes control. Frost’s unique visual style—bold lines, saturated colors, and razor-sharp layout—presents a clear but distorted mirror to viewers, forcing them to reconcile the ridiculous with the real. His work does not ask for passive admiration; it demands a response. Yogi on Xanax stands as a satirical totem of consumer anxiety, wrapped in packaging that feels as familiar as it is jarring. This print does not just exist in the world of contemporary pop—it defines what it looks like when pop turns critical.
