Weston Frizzell Exhibition - 'TAUPO' by JoFF Rae

The Red Rock Gallery is proud to present “TAUPO” .

An exhibition  featuring new works from the brilliant creative partnership of  Weston Frizzell,

the collaborative identity of Otis Frizzell and Mike Weston.

After many years of working together, Otis Frizzell and Mike Weston's creative partnership has evolved from that of a celebrity artist (Otis Frizzell) and his art dealer, producer and manager, (Mike Weston) into a full blown art collaboration.

Their Warhol influenced production line approach and entertainment industry influenced promotion and management has taken them from the street art and pop culture melting pot of Auckland's K road into the fine art world.  

Their output draws heavily on appropriated imagery, style and content. Presented with satiric and often ironic subtext, it challenges notions of authorship and originality. 

Adding a new edition print to the WORD series for which Weston Frizzell have become so well known, they offer their own take on 'TAUPO' in a new and very limited edition  of 10 only prints produced exclusively  for Red Rock gallery show.

New and recent large format art works & select limited edition prints showcase their unique style &  premium calibre of their work making this an exciting show to experience!

Bill Hicks - It's just a ride by JoFF Rae

The world is like a ride in an amusement park. And when you choose to go on it, you think it’s real because that’s how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills and it’s very brightly coloured and it’s very loud and it’s fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time and they begin to question, is this real, or is this just a ride? And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say, “Hey – don’t worry, don’t be afraid, ever, because, this is just a ride…”

And we… kill those people.
“Shut him up.”
“We have a lot invested in this ride. Shut him up. Look at my furrows of worry. Look at my big bank account and my family. This just has to be real.”

Just a ride. But we always kill those good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok. But it doesn’t matter because: It’s just a ride. And we can change it anytime we want. It’s only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings and money. A choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love, instead, see all of us as one.

Here’s what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money that we spend on weapons and defences each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace.
