Conspirators series: Ben Frost
Ben Frost has expressed himself through images of children shooting up, cartoon characters masturbating and the successful faking of his own death
Iconoclastic because the icon’s elastic, Brisbane-born Ben Frost is an artistic whirlwind who has exhibited in places where the postcode doesn’t start with 2 (or is even called a postcode, for that matter). Frost has expressed himself in many forms — in signs, street art, collage and photorealistic painting — and gleefully hacks up the visual tools of political and commercial propaganda for his purposes.
A founder of art portal, stupidkrap.com, and occasional public speaker, Frost is a common subject of debate due to the often controversial nature of his works. Previous monocle-droppers have included: children shooting up, cartoon characters masturbating and the successful faking of his own death.
