Ben Frost (1975) - Feeling Down Charlie Brown

Ben Frost - Feeling Down Charlie Brown, 2023. Digital Print on Archival Canson Cotton Rag Photographique 310 gsm.

Ben Frost’s irreverent prints satirize contemporary culture. Frost redesigns prescription drug packaging with images of well-known cartoon characters and overlays familiar iconography. In this case a pharmaceutical package of Zoloft, an anit-depressant overlaid with a depiction of Charlie Brown looking a little down at the mouth. Brilliant!

The Australian artist has exhibited in London, New York, Los Angeles, Singapore, Berlin, and Miami, and he has collaborated with fashion designers and brands including Moschino and Carolina Herrera.
