Brad Novak

Brad Novak's profile as a leading urban artist (aka New Blood Pop) is continuing to rise steadily, with a significant international fan-base, and a cutting edge body of work sitting sharply at the nexus between fine art and street art. In early 2015 Novak’s debut solo show set a NZ record with 500+ people through the event in only 2 hours. Then, in late 2015 he became the first New Zealand-born artist in the country’s history to show simultaneously alongside both the legendary pop art megastars including Warhol, Haring, Lichtenstein, and the street art global elite such as Brainwash, OBEY and Banksy (Struck Contemporary, Toronto). He followed this up in early 2016 with only his second solo show, and first outside New Zealand, in Toronto to rave reviews alongside a feature on national TV in Canada. As well as his trailblazing art career he still practices as a medical doctor and in doing so continues to push boundaries. At its heart his work is about connections – connections within and between works, between the artist and his works, and also with the public. His motto ‘Never Stop Dreaming’ calls for us to treasure our childhood passions and creativity. He currently shows in NZ, Chicago, New York, Toronto and the UK.
