Last post was about Elizabeth Berrien, an artist who uses wire in a lacy, loose way to create images. This time, the artist also makes art from wire, but in an entirely different way.Ivan Lovatt, (1966-) created art from a very early age. He experimented and explored with many media. His experimentation with chicken wire sculpturing led Lovatt to an unusual yet personally satisfactory sculptural medium.
He sculpts mammals, insects, and portraits in a compact, direct manner that has brought him accolades and many awards. (Click on image for larger view) Your thoughts?

Wow! His work is very impressive! Sue
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing, Although the huge housefly looks mighty scary. Is he Australian? sz
ReplyDeleteActually, he was born in Kenya, lived in London and other cities. Now, he's chosen to live in Australia. However, I think the insect is a bee.
