Hey guys. I'm thinking about getting some Ben Frost prints. What's everybody's thoughts on him. I only just heard of him recently. He's got a following in Australia, but prices are still very
modest... Worthwhile?

The prints from Stupid Krap are very good value. I saw some of his large originals in Amsterdam recently & was very impressed.

[sputnikeye]

i've bought a few of his prints and they are excellent and raise a smile

[steviededalus]

Cool, thanks very much. That's what I thought. Will take the plunge then.

Not sure on the others but talk to Stupidkrap guys and dolls and they may be able to help you out

[Heavyconsumer]

Definitly contact the staff at stupidkrap and anywhere else that has sold his work to ask if they have some APs, returns, cancellations etc before going to the secondary market. Often galleries say stuff is sold out but still have a piece or two held back, for punters who show a special interest. Good luck.

Ben Frost's solo show Poor Paintings For Rich People will open at the Opus Gallery in Newcastle on the 9th of October featuring a range of new original paintings and sculpture.

If anybody would like to attend the opening night could they rsvp to [e-mail] ;D

Ben Frost - Crapitalism
Dray Walk Gallery, Old Truman Brewery, London
Opening night/preview 25th September from 6.00pm

Ben's first UK solo show, Crapitalism will include a selection of amazing new paintings, prints, sculptures and a video installation as he explores the darker side of consumerism. If you'd like to come to the opening night on the 25th, email [e-mail].

We know some of you have found the No Walls site already so thanks for your support. We've been open for business for a couple of weeks but have left shouting about what we're up to until now. Take a look at www.nowallsgallery.com when you get the chance.

Along with selling a mix of primary and secondary market work by a bunch of our favourite artists including Eric Bailey, Banksy, Blek Le Rat, Faile, Shepard Fairey, Ben Frost, Paul Insect, Anthony Lister and Antony Micallef we'll also be holding pop-up shows in some of the best temporary spaces both in London and overseas.

We've got some awesome stuff in the pipeline. First up is Crapitalism at the end of September. Ben's recent shows in New York, San Francisco, Amsterdam and Beijing have made him one to watch and those of you who haven't seen his work in the flesh before are in for a treat.

[Rourke]

Good stuff, great site aswell
Love the Eric Bailey works, Brilliant

[sfdoddsy]

I was at Ben's Sydney studio yesterday picking up a piece and had a peek at some of the stuff he is producing for the show. It looks great.

[no walls]

Cheers Rourke. Appreciate the comments. Our site's still a work in progress so more to come on that front.
You’re right about Eric…awesome work. Beautiful old school academic painting style but very contemporary street influenced subject matter. Working on his first solo show with us early next year at the moment. I'll send an invite when the time comes.

Ben’s work on Crapitalism is nearly finished and we’re putting the final preparations together. Promises to be something special. If anyone wants to come to the launch night on the 25th, give us a shout... [e-mail].

On that note, another piece of magic from Mr Frost to brighten your Monday...

[princeofdalston]

I'll be sure to check this out - thanks

[Oliver Winconek]

I have very mixed feelings towards Ben's work. At first glance it's easy just to dismiss it as purile or cliched but there is definitely something there, I find it visually refreshing and gives a potted view of the somewhat over branded, commercial, gaudy, chaotic world we find ourselves living in at times. It reminds me in some way of the work of Gwenaël Salaün - www.thefrenchartstudio.com/salaun.html in the way that he throws together lots of iconic elements of modern life

[no walls]

I see the similarity with Gwenaël’s work. Nice stuff. The way Ben layers so many different meanings and references into his collage style pieces and their sheer scale makes his work pretty unique though.

The detail in his larger collage style pieces is amazing in the flesh. We’ve got a couple of pieces up at home and we’re still seeing new themes in them years after hanging them. Awesome.

[monks]

Looking forward to this. Just read this article with him on Juxtapoz... www.juxtapoz.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=4244&Itemid=121. Shows a few pics of his new work. Worth checking out.

[Little Art Book]

Don't forget Ben Frost opens tonight!!

I caught up with Ben on Tuesday and had a sneak preview of the show. Definitely worth a visit if you're a fan of Ben. Some great work.

[crazyarsemother]

I think his work is fantastic. Really freshing and very talented.

[Happy Shopper]

Can't wait to check out the show over the weekend...

[mj]

[Happy Shopper]

Anyone else been to this? I'm interested in opinions of Ben Frost. I'm surprised people aren't all over this!

[Daniel Silk]

Looks a great show I can see this sort of art really taking off over the next few years*.

*I own NO artwork by BenFrost.
