Brad Novak (aka New Blood Pop) is a leading urban (new contemporary) artist whose work sits sharply at the nexus between fine art and street art.
His art practice covers two main themes. The first is the subjective nature of identity via his ‘Hybrid’ series: The second deals with what he calls ‘The Digital Dilemma’:
“I believe those of us who can remember first-hand what it was like before ‘the internet’ have a duty to future generations – it’s increasingly hard for us to switch off. Many of my artworks continue to be a commentary, and warning, about the challenges with an ever-increasing technological age”.
Novak is the first artist in NZ’s history to exhibit alongside both the global pop and street art superstars such as Warhol, Haring, Lichtenstein, Obey, Brainwash and BANKSY (Toronto, 2015).
He will be showing at the coveted Miami Art Fair in December 2026 with Vertical Gallery, Chicago.
