Jason Frizzell

Jason Frizzell’s early work consisted of installations and other works drawn from the carnival sideshow tradition, with large-scale painted banners, ramps, stairs, platforms and railings. More recently, his sculpture has focused on building miniature models with dark allegorical content.

Frizzell graduated in 1998 from the University of Victoria (BC) with a Master of Fine Arts in sculpture after completing a Bachelor of Fine Arts (with Distinction) in sculpture and printmaking at University of Calgary in 1996 and a Diploma in Art and Design from the Red Deer College in 1994. He has had numerous solo and group exhibitions at The New Gallery (Calgary, AB), Harcourt House Gallery (Edmonton, AB) and Zavitz Gallery (Guelph, ON). His work was featured in the 2015 Alberta Biennial of Contemporary Art at Art Gallery of Alberta (Edmonton, AB). In 2016, Frizell appeared in Generations: 50 Years of Art at the University and Beyond (University of Calgary, AB).

In 2014, he became Dean at the School of Creative Arts, Red Deer College (AB) after serving as a full-time faculty member from 1999–2014 in the Red Deer College Visual Art Program. He has works in various private collections and in the collections of the Alberta Foundation for the Arts (Edmonton, AB) and Alberta Energy Board (Calgary, AB).
