Weston Frizzell

High performance art partnership Weston Frizzell is the duo of Otis Frizzell and Mike Weston.  Since 1998 the innovative Weston Frizzell creative partnering of graffiti artist/illustrator/celebrity, Otis Frizzell with producer/designer/manager Mike Weston, has evolved into a diverse and prolific art and media collaboration.

As Otis Frizzell and Mike Weston’s collaborative identity, the Weston Frizzell brand has built a reputation for slick work with tight production values.  Weston Frizzell apply sampling and cutup techniques to a creative process informed by dada, hip hop, situationism, graffiti art and techno. They occupy a cleverly conceived niche, firmly rooted in the street art and pop culture melting pot of Auckland’s K Rd, branching out into the world of art business.

Weston Frizzell demonstrate a mean eye for NZ art history, media, and pop culture. They appropriate from a broad set of cultural sources, reconfiguring visual elements and graphic styles then reworking with hip illustration and a combination of cutting edge and traditional printing techniques.  Created is a coherent and diverse catalogue of fine art prints in a variety of media.

The alphabet that features in Weston Frizzell’s prints is made up of New Zealand superbrands and details from famous New Zealand artists work.  The Four Seasons in Weston Frizzell’s latest body of work depicts each one of the four seasons with a distinctly kiwi perspective.
