{"product_id":"morphine-tears","title":"Morphine Tears","description":"\u003cp\u003e**APC ART is pleased to present this striking early edition — “Morphine Tears” by Ben Frost.**\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExecuted as a **hand-pulled silkscreen print on 370gsm fine art paper**, this work measures **70 × 50 cm (27.5″ × 19.7″)** and is **hand signed by Ben Frost in pencil, lower right**, and **hand numbered from the limited edition of 50**, lower left. **Published by Stolen Space Gallery, London, in 2015**, this edition marks one of Frost’s most desirable early screenprints — now rarely seen on the secondary market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn **“Morphine Tears,”** Frost merges consumer packaging and pop-cultural iconography to deliver a searing commentary on modern addiction — not just to pharmaceuticals, but to desire, branding, and the endless churn of consumption. The bold *morphine* label collides with the sensual cartoon lips of a pop-art muse, creating a friction between pleasure and pain, seduction and self-destruction. It’s a perfect encapsulation of Frost’s style: confrontational, graphic, and darkly humorous.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in Australia and now internationally recognized, **Ben Frost** has become one of the defining voices in post-pop art. Drawing from advertising, comic books, and global consumer culture, he exposes the absurdity of our visual environment with the precision of a designer and the irreverence of a street artist. Frost’s works have been exhibited across the world — from London’s **Stolen Space Gallery** to Miami, Tokyo, and Sydney — and are collected by celebrities, institutions, and investors alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom an **investment perspective**, this work represents a key period in Frost’s evolution and a rare chance to own one of his early limited-edition silkscreens. His editions continue to rise steadily in value as his profile expands internationally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis print has **been stored flat to archival standards since 2015**, never framed, and remains in **mint condition**.
