Humanitarian Mountaineering Beekeeper 1.16

Unique painting in acrylic and spray paint on wooden board.

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.

The artist skilfully represents Sir Edmund through a unique and modern interpretation. Hillary ‘sits’ within an urban meadow, looking 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.
