Dick Frizzell Poster
Dick Frizzell instead o taking ideas and turning them into artwork, played on ‘well-worn cliques’ and created something that would be the complete opposite. ‘Frizell’s paintings are filled with loaded images that take on unusual, original and often sharply critical meanings...’ Unlike Andy Warhol, Dick Frizzell did not limit himself to just one niche, he took ideas from comic books, other pop artists, artists, and often painted landscapes – this made an endless and inventive range of subject matter and styles. Dick Frizzell is then, following the Andy Warhol ‘tradition’ but he is more open and may be even more controversial than Andy Warhol.
The Project
This is an Art Poster I did for a project at my University. It is for a New Zealand Pop-Artist named Dick Frizzell, we had to either pick a pop-art style or Dick Frizell's style.
I chose Andy Warhol's Pop-Art work and tried to fuse it with Dick-Frizzell, by adding the Maori traditional tattooing to Che and Marilyn. I left the last square blank and bottom for the Art Poster's sponsor logos (the white bottom part) and the square had the dates. Printed on A2.
