Pharmaceutical Packaging as a Canvas in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork
Four Tablets Daily by Australian artist Ben Frost stands as a vivid and biting example of contemporary Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Executed as an archival pigment print on 310gsm Canson Cotton Rag Photographique paper, this 2024 limited edition artwork boldly merges the aesthetics of commercial pharmaceuticals with classic pop imagery. Frost’s distinctive style blends sleek, advertising-inspired visuals with themes of consumption, identity, and the numbing effects of modern medicine. Here, the artist uses an actual pharmaceutical box for Ritalin 10 as the foundation, transforming it into an ironic and haunting portrait of modern dependency and beauty ideals.
The Fusion of Consumer Culture and Artistic Commentary
Ben Frost, known for appropriating packaging, logos, and cultural symbols, uses this work to confront society’s relationship with prescription drugs and mass media. The print features the stylized face of a woman, her blue eyes and red lips reminiscent of mid-century comic book heroines, wrapped across the geometric restrictions of pharmaceutical packaging. The juxtaposition between her sensual, constructed gaze and the clinical language of Ritalin prescription labeling evokes tension between artificial pleasure and medical control. With the original packaging’s text left mostly intact, Frost allows the artwork to retain its original context—making the viewer uncomfortably aware that this isn’t just art, it’s also an artifact of real-world usage.
Limited Edition Fine Art Meets Graffiti Pop Satire
Printed in a highly exclusive edition of only 15 pieces, each one is signed and numbered by the artist. The dimensions of 11.7 x 11.7 inches make it a compact yet powerful artwork that distills Frost’s visual commentary into a sharp, satirical square. By using archival pigment methods on museum-grade cotton paper, the piece elevates the ephemeral nature of consumerism and street-level commentary into lasting fine art. The print exists at the intersection of collectible contemporary art and critical protest, channeling energy from both the gallery and the street.
