مجسمه‌های زیبای حیوانات اثر “ایوان لوا” از جنس تور مرغی

Born in Nairobi, Kenya, Ivan spent his childhood in Africa, England, Wales and Germany. When not outside enjoying the natural environment, Ivan was drawn to all forms of artistic expression, and began drawing birds and African wildlife. As an adult, Ivan worked mostly in construction, but art was always an important part of his life. Ivan would spend all of his spare time learning about art, experimenting and trying to explore each medium to its potential. Ivan exhibited his sculpture and paintings in group exhibitions at the Guildhall Grantham, before emigrating to Australia in 1994.

Inspired by his new environment Ivan focused his creativity on the hands on reality of sculpture. Ivan is particularly excited by the transformation of such an ordinary medium as chicken wire to a piece of art. He is drawn towards creating work that is accessible, recognisable and meaningful to the public. Ivan’s personality is represented in his sculpture. His work is honest, often quirky and amusing, yet demonstrates compassion for his subject, and above all has great integrity.

Ivan Lovatt is a professional sculptor who has been creating sculpture for private collections, corporations and public exhibition for the past 6 years. 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.
Ivan initially worked with driftwood and reclaimed timber, which he fashioned into exquisite representations of birds and wildlife. Ivan received a great deal of publicity and public acclaim for this work and won the Swell Festival People’s Choice in 2004 with his representation of a flightless bird “Running Bird Walking”.

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. By layering, twisting and shaping this very ordinary medium Ivan creates both abstract and realistic representations, which are tactile, appealing to the viewer to touch. As Ivan’s skills developed and evolved he was drawn to figurative work, and Ivan began a series of portraits of famous people which candidly demonstrates his superior level of craftsmanship and attention to detail. Ivan’s wire work has received many awards and a great deal of media coverage

Each of Ivan’s handmade original sculptures has been painstakingly designed and created to ensure the highest level of integrity and quality. Hours and hours of work go in to each piece. Ivan’s sculptures are suitable for both indoor and outdoor exhibition. The excellence of his craftsmanship ensures that each piece will stand the test of time.

With a proven history, and valued by Menzies, Ivan’s work has become an excellent investment. For an extraordinary sculpture that inspires awe and admiration why not consider one of his remarkable pieces? For something really personal and unique Ivan could sculpt your favorite pet, animal, or person.
