Still Life With Sheep’s Skull And Iris
Dick Frizzell’s eclectic Pop art style and interest in popular culture and language have a lot to do with his working as a commercial artist after completing his fine arts studies. The kind of cross-fertilisation between high art and popular art that happens in his work was rare in New Zealand in the 1970s, but became less so with the arrival of Post-modernism. His paintings frequently reference art history, popular culture, illustration and consumer advertising, and are full of loaded, often ironic or critical images.
