Ivor Fabok

In 1978 Ivor Fabok completed his studies at the City Art Institute, Sydney where he graduated in Fine Art. He began exhibiting sculpture in 1982 and his work has appeared in many solo and group shows in Sydney and Wollongong. His work has been commissioned for the Wollongong Regional Gallery, the American Express building, Sydney and the Hyatt Coolum, Queensland.  

Fabok has a passion for jazz and in regard to his art and influences have said 'I like the freewheeling improvisation in jazz. When I listen to music I see colours. I read music as forms and structures. Colour can be form. A solid piece of blue, for example, can be a real form. It's in real space, its real blue and has enough to draw you in.'  

In addition to an active studio practice Fabok and teaches sculpture at Wollongong TAFE and the National Art School, Sydney.
