Original Painting is an acrylic painting of a Dahlia called Enid – my favourite Dahlia as it has my lovely mum’s name. In Victorian times pink flowers symbolised Honour.
Brad Novak is well known for his portrayal of icons, with Sir Edmund Hillary featuring strongly in this work – a Humanitarian, a Mountaineer, and a Beekeeper. Novak skilfully represents Sir Edmund through a unique and modern interpretation.
Sir Edmund looks out from the frame through a ‘tech lens’, referencing the artist’s concerns about his self-titled ‘Digital Dilemma’ – commentary on the pros and cons of an ever-increasing technological age.
“There’s also a personal connection with my father John Novak (who recently passed away) being a lover of gardening, plant life and in particular, flowers. Life is beautiful, and impermanence is part of what makes it so special. My wish is that others connect with this contemporary take on the classical genres of portraiture and still life!”
– Brad Novak
