Born in Auckland in 1976 with Croatian heritage, Brad Novak is a self-taught professional artist exploring the combination of colour, shape, and contrast through a fresh and distinctive style. His choice of subject, from the culture and landscape of Aotearoa to animals and more dynamic organic forms, reflects his love of the natural world. Brad's original paintings on canvas are created through purposeful over-layering of designated masked areas with repeated layers of paint. Following in the footsteps of several top NZ artists he is creating limited edition fine art screen prints on archival paper through collaboration with Auckland-based printer Artrite. Achieving a balanced composition, omission of any obvious light source and high quality finishing are characteristic features of Brad's unique artwork, which has been acquired by collectors both locally and overseas.
