Ben Frost Speedy On Adderall Blotter Paper Archival Print by Ben Frost
Speedy On Adderall Blotter Paper Archival Print by Ben Frost Limited Edition Fine Art Archival Pigment Print Art on Perforated Blotter Paper. 2023 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 100 Archival Pigment Print on Perforated Blotter Paper Size: 7.5 x 7.5 Inches Release: April 19, 2023 Speedy Gonzales Looney Tunes Limited blotter editions are hand-perforated by Zane Kesey. The "Speedy On Adderall Blotter Paper Archival Print" is another provocative piece by contemporary artist Ben Frost, known for his critical and vibrant works that often incorporate elements of pop culture and consumerism. Released alongside its counterpart on April 19, 2023, this limited edition piece similarly presents a stark commentary on the intersection of medication, in this case, Adderall, and cartoon characters, with Speedy Gonzales of Looney Tunes fame taking the spotlight. Limited to a mere 100 signed and numbered editions, this artwork is printed on 7.5 x 7.5 inches perforated blotter paper, a material choice that is emblematic of Frost's distinctive approach to art creation. The medium is particularly notable for its historical association with the distribution of substances, thereby intensifying the print's dialogue about pharmaceutical consumption and its prevalence in society. Speedy Gonzales, the "fastest mouse in all Mexico," is a fitting character for this work, bringing into focus the drug's intended effects on attention and speed of cognitive processes. By placing this animated icon on a background that mimics a prescription for Adderall, a medication used to treat ADHD and narcolepsy, Frost not only showcases his hallmark juxtaposition of innocence with more adult themes but also casts a light on the sometimes frivolous use of prescription stimulants in today's fast-paced lifestyle. Each print is hand-perforated by Zane Kesey, adding a layer of authenticity and craft that contrasts with the otherwise mass-produced nature of the subjects depicted. In the realms of pop, street, and graffiti art, Frost's work is both a critique and a celebration of the culture it represents. This piece, much like other works by the artist, invites viewers to question the narratives fed to us by the media and pharmaceutical companies and encourages a dialogue on the cultural implications of these narratives. "Speedy On Adderall" is more than just a piece of fine art; it is a cultural statement, encapsulating concerns about mental health, the ethics of drug use, and the pervasive nature of animated characters in shaping our understanding of the world. Collectors and enthusiasts who acquire this print not only get a unique piece of art but also engage with the broader conversations that are central to Frost's artistic agenda.
