Ben Frost (born Brisbane, Australia) is a visual artist whose work seeks to challenge contemporary norms and values of Western culture and society.
"I like to express that fine line between attraction and repulsion that our consumer society presents us with every day. The media and advertising have fine tuned our buying and viewing experiences so that often the most appealing, ‘must-have’ objects of desire, are actually hiding darker secrets. There’s a duality in things like fast food, entertainment, fashion and technology that provide us with ‘quick-fix’ solutions to our competitive lifestyle cravings – but ultimately are destroying our health, emotions and the environment. I like to point out these disparities and put a spotlight on the uncomfortable reality of the ‘western condition’ that we so often try to disguise."
