It’s truly amazing to find an artist that takes a relatively common item - like chicken wire - and turns it into real art. These busts of Jagger, Einstein, Grace Jones, Dame Edna and Basquait were made by Ivan Lovatt. His ingenuity is striking. He prefers to work with natural materials, but found that wire gave him a broader palette.
For the past two years he has been working with driftwood and aged timbers, and has created a sizeable collection of works, mostly inspired by the Australian wildlife. Ivan's versatility and adaptability are clearly demonstrated by his return to using chicken wire, a medium that lends itself to the sensitivity and delicacy of his expression. Ivan's work is characterized by his ingenuity and innovation, which motivates him to find new and interesting ways to capture his love of nature and his fascination of humanity. While his first love is working with natural materials, he finds that wire gives him a broader spectrum of possibilities, and still allows him to capture the same spirit and energy that his drift wood art epitomizes.
