Brad Donovan is an artist whose work combines influences from Baroque, Renaissance, Surrealism, and Super-Flat color. His unique style emerged from blending 90s cartoons with classical art. Since his first exhibition in 2016, Donovan’s artworks have gained international recognition and found homes in prestigious collections and galleries across New Zealand, Taiwan, South Korea, and Australia. In The Art Collector Series, the character’s eyes—partially revealed through a mask—are the only visible feature, creating an intriguing and intense sense of tension. This tension not only directs the viewer’s focus to the artwork the character holds but also stirs curiosity about the secrets the figure might be hiding or the situation they are in, inviting a wide range of interpretations from the audience.
