Ivan Durrant
Ivan Durrant is an Australian painter, performance artist and writer.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Night Club - 30/01/2002: Ivan Durrant )〕 Much of his art has had "great shock value",〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Art Nation - Ivan Durrant )〕 therefore Durrant is often described as L'enfant terrible of Australian art.〔 and is known by many as a controversial and provocative artist.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Great Shed Show by Ivan Durrant - Gallery 34 )〕 Although known widely for his 1975 "Slaughtered Cow Happening", the larger proportion of Durrant's work consists of paintings using a self-developed style of "Super-Realism".〔Durrant, J. 2011 p. 436〕 Durrant now resides in Blairgowrie, Victoria, and his works are held in many public collections.
== Early years ==
Born in Melbourne in 1947,〔 Ivan Durrant was one of seven children. His father suffered from alcoholism, a factor leading to the decision by Ivan's 22-year-old mother to place the children into state care.〔 From ages seven through 15, Durrant was raised in an orphanage in Brighton, Victoria.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=From unholy cows to horses for courses )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Brass and Gowing: Ivan Durrant )〕 He was dealt regular beatings, and suffered emotional abuse - "even medical experimentation. He can remember being injected with all sorts of things, even when he wasn't sick".〔 Whilst still alive, neither of Durrant's parents ever visited their children in the orphanage.〔 During those years, Durrant spent his summers on farms where he was billeted to work for the summers.〔 It was during that period that Durrant realise his fondness for birds and animals 〔 Durrant says that he has "always had a love of looking at the structure of animals".〔
Ivan began drawing during his years at the orphanage, with his art providing some social advantage for him. "The 16-year old senior boys, they would look after me and I wouldn't be bullied because I could do drawings in their books for them, so art became my thing".〔 Durrant's ability to draw developed into an interest in painting during his teenage years.〔
Georges Mora, of Tolarno Galleries, St Kilda was among the first to see potential in Durrant's work, giving him $300 in cash to buy paints, and his first exhibition in 1970.〔
