Company of Thieves Exhibition

Canadian artist Denial and Australian born Ben Frost have joined forces in a bold exhibition of new work that explores the boundaries of appropriation, in confronting re-imaginings of our current dystopian society. Self-­confessed ‘visual thieves’, both artists have had a long history of stealing and subverting the cultural icons that the advertising and consumerist world has thrust upon us, to create new and pertinent interpretations that are as confronting as they are humorous.

Denial and Frost formed an instant friendship since their meeting in Canada in 2011 and have been creating engaging street and gallery work ever since. "Company of Thieves" sees their collaboration push further, with large and small-scale works that reference Pop Art, Graffiti and the corporate world they rebel against.

"My work speaks of impending doom and a lot of crass sinister themes, but that should not mean I desire this to happen at all. I hope my work suggests the opposite: to show the ridiculousness of it all and how we may find better solutions for the future. Shit has to change and that is what I believe my work truly speaks to."
