Artist Ben Frost is moving house, so stacks of his fantastic artworks are going on sale at the end of this month
Born mid-’70s at the peak of punk, and living his teen years by the end of the commercial-laden ’80s, it’s no wonder visual artist Ben Frost injects so much disposable pop culture into his artworks. The only thing is, his unique pieces are for keeps!
Frost has a trademark knack for satirising consumer culture – in an even funnier way than, say, Andy Warhol or Roy Lichtenstein used to. Some of Frost’s works actually appear on product packaging itself – redesigns of prescription drug packets, stencil works on empty McDonald’s fries cartons, and so on.
The Australian artist has exhibited in London, New York, Los Angeles, Singapore, Berlin, and Miami, and has collaborated with fashion labels including Moschino and Carolina Herrera. He also has a strong online presence, with particular dedication to his digital flagship store benfrostisdead.com.
Up until now, Ben has called Melbourne home (though he is originally from Brisbane). Other quarters are now calling, so instead of bringing all of his works – large and small – across with him to his new dwellings, he is giving the rest of us the gift of the great discount. The Moving Sale will run from 10am-4pm on Saturday 29 November and the artist has promised that certain works will be available online so that us interstate fans can shop like mad. Keep an eye out for updates on Ben’s Instagram page here.
Cream will definitely be locking this date into the diary.
Note: The artworks shown are not necessarily representative of what will be on sale but, heck, everything this guy puts to canvas, pill package, or even throw pillow is worth having a look at.

The song Driftin’ is a cover of a classic 1970s disco track covered by Cream‘s founding editor Antonino Tati. It’s only a dollar to download the track through Bandcamp, and all proceeds are going to the Bobby Goldsmith Foundation (BGF) for their work in assisting Australians affected by HIV. Cream will be contributing toward the donation, too. Listen out for lots of cheeky innuendo and a special appearance by soul singer Barry White! The song is also available on the usual platforms including Apple Music, Amazon, Spotify, Tidal and YouTube Music.
