Ivan Lovatt makes famous folks, icons, and wildlife out of poultry chicken wire! He was born in Nairobi, Kenya, and spent his childhood in Africa, England, Wales and Germany. Ivan exhibited his sculptures and paintings in group exhibitions in the Guildhall Grantham, before emigrating to Australia in 1994. He now lives in the Gold Coast Hinterland.

I don’t know if you’ve had experience with chicken wire, but it comes in big roles and is unwieldy to even try to unroll and attach to the inside of a fence! I really can’t believe how intricately this artist depicts his subjects!

All I get from working with chicken wire is many, many cuts and bruises. Ivan Lovatt is truly amazing, isn’t he?
