Humanitarian Mountaineering Beekeeper [Sir Edmund Hillary] – Original Painting by Brad Novak
Artist: Brad Novak (aka New Blood Pop)
Medium: Acrylic and spray paint on boxed wooden board. Titled, signed and dated by the artist in paint pen.
Size: 900mm high x 900mm wide – ready to hang
Brad Novak is well known for his portrayal of icons, with Sir Edmund Hillary featuring strongly in this work - a Humanitarian, a Mountaineer, and a Beekeeper. Novak skilfully represents Sir Edmund through a unique and modern interpretation. Sir Edmund looks out from the frame through a ‘tech lens’, referencing the artist’s concerns about his self-titled ‘Digital Dilemma’ – commentary on the pros and cons of an ever-increasing technological age.
“There’s also a personal connection with my father John Novak (who passed away in 2022) being a lover of gardening and plant life. Life is beautiful, and impermanence is part of what makes it so special.” - Brad Novak
About Brad Novak
Brad Novak (aka New Blood Pop) is a leading urban artist whose work sits sharply at the nexus between fine art and street art. He is the first artist in NZ’s history to exhibit with global pop and street art superstars such as Warhol, Haring, Brainwash and BANKSY (Toronto, 2015). After showing in Toronto, New York, San Franscico and Manchester, Novak recently held a breakout solo show in Chicago with the coveted Vertical Gallery, and distinguished NZ artist Michael Smither chose Novak for his first ever 2-person portrait show. In 2024, Novak won the Eden Park Portraiture award. He is also still practicing (very much part-time) as a doctor, having specialized in Public Health Medicine.
