Brad Novak (aka New Blood Pop) 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 utilising juxtaposition. 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. Sir Ed is set amongst a field of wildflowers, representing nature, connectedness and the beauty of the present moment... the antithesis to our ever increasing reliance on tech.
