Australian artist Ben Frost is best known for his satirical and often provocative Pop Art mash-up paintings that critique our involvement in consumerist society. His work is as diverse as it is perverse. Fusing cartoon characters with romantic and erotic manga appropriations or erotic image of a Lichtenstein-esque looking woman, he creates a visual framework that is bold, confronting, and often controversial.
Working on both large and small format, Frost’s work continues the same counter-culture thematic throughout different and varied mediums. From large-scale stencil paintings on canvas, to fastidious acrylic works on “found packages” (such as McDonald’s fry boxes, pharmaceutical packages, and cereal boxes), his work is deeply immersed in the colour and fervor of the advertising world.
Serapax, brand name for Oxazepam. A short-to-intermediate-acting benzodiazepine. Oxazepam is used for the treatment of anxiety and insomnia and in the control of symptoms of alcohol withdrawal syndrome.
In general, benzodiazepines should be taken for short periods only (for example 2 to 4 weeks). Continuous long-term use is not recommended unless advised by your doctor. The use of benzodiazepines may lead to dependence on the medicine.
