Brad Donovan, born in 1990 on New Zealand's North Island, displayed an early knack for the arts. Raised in a rural setting, he honed his skills through countless hours of sketching, painting on scrap wood, and sculpting. Influenced by 90s cartoons and classical masters, Donovan's style evolved over years of experimentation. Today, his art combines Baroque and Renaissance influences with elements of Surrealism and Super-Flat color, layered with personal history from his sketchbooks. His characters, often whimsical and cartoonish, evoke a range of emotions, from joy to unease. Donovan's works, appreciated for their evocative narratives, have gained recognition worldwide, gracing private collections and galleries internationally as his artistic voice continues to evolve.
