We’re delighted to reveal that our Keynote Speaker for the Mercury Bay Art Escape Opening Gala on Friday 6 March is none other than Dick Frizzell.

One of New Zealand’s most celebrated artists, Dick has created some of our country’s most iconic works. His art captures the spirit of Aotearoa — blending landscapes, Kiwiana, Māori motifs, abstraction, and popular culture with his unmistakable style.

Dick currently has an exhibition of his latest landscapes, ‘The Weight of the World’ on now at Gow Langsford Gallery, Auckland — showing until 25 October.

Tickets will be available online and at Hot Waves Café in December. Don’t be slow — this event is always a sell out!
