Brad Novak (aka New Blood Pop) is a NZ-based urban pop artist who wants us to “keep our inner child alive". He is the first artist in New Zealand’s history to exhibit with global superstars such as Warhol, Haring, Lichtenstein, Mr. Brainwash and BANKSY (Toronto, 2015).

His art practice covers two main themes. The first is the subjective nature of identity - which relates to the flawed human tendency to label each other, and ourselves, and thereby limit our potential. Novak rejects this through his ongoing endeavours to combine dual careers as not only a professional artist but also a medical doctor. The second deals with what he calls 'The Digital Dilemma' - in the artist's own words.

"This increasingly technological age isn't making us any happier or connecting us to others better, rather it’s doing the exact opposite!"

Novak currently shows internationally with galleries in the USA, Canada, UK and NZ. He is working towards solo shows in the UK in 2020 and USA in 2021.
