An influential image that has held its place within both the artistic and pop culture Zeitgeist of New Zealand. Inspired by the cult movie ‘Reservoir Dogs’, he grounded the famous scene within Aotearoa by using personified native NZ birds in matching black and white suits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd so began his personal ‘Hybrid’ theme in which Novak explores ‘identity’ through charismatic animals fusing with human figures. “I believe there’s this flawed human tendency for us to label (and thereby limit) not only ourselves but also others. I’m rejecting this through combining dual careers. The primary question being, how do we honour our authentic inner needs?”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNovak considers himself a true hybrid - geek first, artist second, and (part-time) doctor third. Through uncanny juxtaposition, he wants to convey the complexity of our identities. Do we have to be just one ‘thing’? A Mother, a father, an accountant, a businesswoman? Defined by something that we do?\u003cbr\u003eThrough this series, and the extreme rarity of his creative journey, he firmly asserts ‘not I’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf note: the movie’s director, Quentin Tarantino, acquired one of Novak’s early Reservoir Birds works for his personal collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlease allow up to 2-3 weeks for framing in some cases custom framing can take longer.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTo discuss custom framing options including mat, conservation glass or non reflective glass options please call or get in touch \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/boyddunlop.com\/pages\/contact-us\"\u003ehere.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-9ad8952e-7fff-5e70-4042-5bb6f3c9e032\"\u003ePlease note for overseas buyers the NZ gst (tax)  component can be deducted please get in touch\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/boyddunlop.com\/pages\/contact-us\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003efor a shipping quote.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlease note that some of the framed images online are mockups only and serve only as a representation of the actual framed artwork.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Brad Novak","offers":[{"title":"unframed","offer_id":54153094332700,"sku":null,"price":1400.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"framed - black box frame","offer_id":54153094365468,"sku":null,"price":1850.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"framed - white box frame","offer_id":54153094398236,"sku":null,"price":1950.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0006\/3927\/0972\/files\/0001-3306146591100794265.png?v=1779834503","url":"https:\/\/boyddunlop.com\/products\/reservoir-birds-2-1-a","provider":"Boyd-Dunlop Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
