World War Three 2017

Ben Frost's 2017 artwork "World War Three" uses the aesthetic of pop art to explore contemporary social commentary. The image depicts a woman with exaggerated features and a speech bubble, reminiscent of classic comic book illustrations, juxtaposing the somber message of global conflict with the triviality of consumerism. The woman's expression and the text in the speech bubble create a sharp contrast, suggesting a disconnect between serious global issues and the individual's focus on personal desires, a theme often explored in pop art. The artwork's bold colors and graphic style enhance its impact and make it a recognizable and thought-provoking piece.
