Highlights: Ben Frost is Dead

'Australian artist Ben Frost is known for his kaleidoscopic Pop Art, mash-up paintings that take inspiration from areas as diverse as graffiti, collage, photorealism and sign-writing. Subverting mainstream iconography from the worlds of advertising, entertainment and politics, he creates a visual framework that is bold, confrontational and often controversial. With a blatant disrespect for the signifiers of our visual culture, Ben Frost creates multi-layered surfaces of refreshing intensity.'

Highlights: Nate Williams

"In the pursuit of money, fame and petrified hot chicks I studied Anthropology, quickly changing my major to something less respectable “Inter-Media Sculpture”. My hobby in design and technology lead me to web design which is where I spent 9 years working as a web designer and an art director .. 7 of them for Microsoft Games and Xbox. A few years ago .. I made the decision to pursue my passion for having absolutely no money and eating unhealthy amounts of rice .. I wondered “How does one achieve such a goal?” Become an artist/illustrator full time.. I can’t think of a better way to accomplish it."
