Ruscha is renowned for paintings and silkscreens that place bold, confrontational text against spare, minimalist backgrounds, directly paralleling Iqbal's use of an expletive as graphic focal point. His work similarly blends pop art sensibility with everyday consumer objects and deadpan social commentary.

Baldessari combined text, graphic imagery, and conceptual provocation in ways that closely mirror Iqbal's fusion of blunt language with mundane consumer packaging. His muted palettes and direct textual confrontation within a pop art framework share the same visual and critical DNA as this piece.

Kruger's practice of embedding sharp, unfiltered text within graphic imagery to critique consumer culture and power structures aligns closely with Iqbal's use of a stark expletive on a cigarette pack. Both artists use bold typographic interventions and restrained color palettes to provoke immediate emotional and social reflection.
