Ivan Durrant

Who is Ivan Durrant?

Ivan Durrant is an Australian painter, performance artist and writer. Much of his art has had "great shock value", therefore Durrant is often described as L'enfant terrible of Australian art and is known by many as a controversial and provocative artist. 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 now resides in Benalla, Victoria, and his works are held in many public collections.
