Richard (Dick) Frizzell Investment Artist
Born 1943

Born in Auckland in 1943, Frizzell studied at the Canterbury School of Fine Arts between 1960 and 1963. Always with an eclectic style and interest in language, Frizzell pursued a successful career in advertising after completing his studies. Working as a commercial artist, he successfully designed many advertisements; his interest in consumerism and pop culture fueled much of the artist’s oeuvre. However, Frizzell insists that he was never an advertiser-gone-painter, but that the artistic impulse was always the foremost determining factor in his career. It was with this in mind that the artist took a step back from the bread-winning perspective of glorifying products with art and took a leap of faith into the realm of art as an end in itself, becoming a painter full time.
