{"title":"Brad Novak Screenprints","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrad Novak is a New Zealand-based urban pop artist whose work sits sharply at the nexus between fine art and street art. Under the moniker 'New Blood Pop' he is showing internationally through galleries in the US, Canada, the UK and New Zealand with work in the collection of celebrities such as famed director Mr Quentin Tarantino. As well as his trailblazing art career he is still practicing as a medical doctor and in doing so continues to push boundaries in more ways than one. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn early 2015 Novak's debut solo exhibition very likely set a New Zealand record for a first solo show opening by an artist based here, with 500+ people through the event in only 2 hours and over 50 original paintings sold. Then, in late 2015 he became the first New Zealand-born artist in our country's history to show simultaneously alongside both the legendary pop art megastars including Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Roy Lichtenstein, and the street art global elite such as Mr. Brainwash, Shepard Fairey (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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt its heart his work is about how we choose to live our lives, re-learning how to stay in the present moment, and never letting go of our childhood passions and creativity.

I'm also interested in the idea of escapism especially through science fiction and the superhero franchise. Of the things we choose to believe, what's real, and what's not?

Our over-reliance on science and technology has taught humanity to see the world through a dreamlike state that can cause suffering. Many of Novak’s works depict people shedding tears formed from computer circuitry. The artist calls this ‘subconscious escapism’ – the loss of our collective minds. Novak challenges us to reconnect with reality by practicing mindfulness – getting out of our heads so to speak. Western medicine and psychology is finally catching up to the teachings of ancient Eastern philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIndependent Art Consultation Service\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your space demands something different or unique, contact Christine Rabarts Art Curator for your independent personal in-house art consultation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e   E: art@christinerabarts.com\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brad Novak","offers":[{"title":"Available","offer_id":30116016750634,"sku":"12231","price":350.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2659\/6026\/products\/97f1795f80813ba34a4c8bd45fb943ffd5b434c2.png?v=1569493444"},{"product_id":"starman-15-blood-moon-dl","title":"‘Starman 1.5 (Blood Moon) - DL’","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTechnique\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black;\"\u003e8 layer screen-print with gloss lacquer \u003cbr\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black;\"\u003e1000mm diameter white serigraph board\u003cbr\u003eReady-to-hang and floats 10mm from wall\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black; background: white;\"\u003eArtist Proof\u003cbr\u003eLimited edition of 15 screen-prints\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eMeasurements\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e1000mm diameter\u003cb\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003ci\u003ePortrait of David Bowie superimposed on the glowing disk of the moon.
