Ben Frost Cialis Le Pew Blotter Paper Archival Print by Ben Frost
Cialis Le Pew Blotter Paper Archival Print by Ben Frost Limited Edition Fine Art Archival Pigment Print Art on Perforated Blotter Paper. 2025 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of TBD Archival Pigment Print on Perforated Blotter Paper Size: 7.5 x 7.5 Inches Release: April 19, 2025 Limited blotter editions are hand-perforated by Zane Kesey. Pharmaceutical Aesthetics and Cartoon Satire Cialis Le Pew by Ben Frost brings together cartoon absurdity and adult pharmaceutical branding in a limited edition archival blotter paper print released in 2025. Known for his provocative Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, Frost takes viewers on a subversive ride by merging the suggestive character of Pepé Le Pew with the visual identity of Cialis, a well-known medication for erectile dysfunction. Printed on 7.5 x 7.5 inch perforated blotter paper and hand-perforated by Zane Kesey, this piece sits at the intersection of consumer critique and visual comedy. With bold linework and an unmistakable pharmaceutical color scheme, Frost uses satire to expose the contradictions of health, desire, and fantasy in commercial culture. Reinterpreting Brand Messaging Through Street Pop Ben Frost’s work frequently co-opts the visual language of consumer goods, particularly those related to pharmaceuticals and fast food. In this print, the formal structure of a Cialis package is preserved: dosage information, branding, and corporate insignia are all present. But the addition of Pepé Le Pew lounging provocatively transforms the message entirely. The piece is not about medical treatment—it becomes a conversation on romantic projection, toxic masculinity, and mass-market seduction. Frost intentionally plays with taboos by inserting a controversial cartoon figure into the branding of a real-world medication, using humor as a mechanism for cultural interrogation. Blotter Format as Conceptual Canvas The decision to present this print on perforated blotter paper deepens the commentary. Traditionally associated with psychedelic culture, blotter art has been a platform for anti-establishment graphics since the 1960s. In this format, Frost’s image carries connotations of altered states, drug dependency, and societal disillusionment. The material becomes a message in itself, encouraging viewers to consider how they consume information, media, and identity. The perforations serve not just as a nod to underground drug culture but as a device that dismantles the sterile clinical distance of pharmaceutical packaging. Ben Frost and the Language of Visual Irony Ben Frost, an Australian contemporary artist, has made a career out of weaponizing logos, mascots, and visual trademarks. Through satirical juxtaposition, he addresses addiction, overconsumption, and the contradictions of modern branding. With Cialis Le Pew, he continues this trajectory by turning a prescription drug box into a visual metaphor for desire and farce. The artwork challenges the passive viewer, inviting questions about how intimacy and commodification intersect. It is both a punchline and a statement—a collision of cartoon innocence and adult marketing that leaves a lasting visual impact.
