Solo exhibition - new paintings and prints
Brad Novak
22 October to 22 November 2025
Preview: 19 October 4pm
Do we really know the icons we look up to? Leading NZ pop artist Brad Novak throws down that challenge via a star-studded cast in The Digital Dilemma. Novak lines up revered icons – from Sir Edmund Hillary to Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe and Darth Vader – in a series of new paintings and edgy screenprints; but there’s a catch.
We know them only through a digital lens, and that’s the dilemma Novak has been exploring – how technology and social media are disconnecting us from reality. And as a doctor specialising in public health advisory (when he’s not making art), it’s a subject he knows in depth.
