Studio: Scott Street, Bronte (Sydney)
January 1999. Photography: Ken Patrick


Born 1965 Penrith NSW Australia.


Kurt Schranzer is a Sydney-based artist and lecturer. Finding aesthetic similitudes with early 20th century European modernism, his practice has drawn widely from both art and literature, including the works of Paul Klee, Jean Arp, de Chirico, Max Ernst, Lorca, Genet, and Cocteau. He is known for a reduced, architectural drawing style that challenges the assertion that gestural and expressive mark-making is drawing’s quintessence. Joe Frost, in his review of Drawings: Kurt Schranzer & Tony Tuckson, speaks of Schranzer’s approach as epitomizing drawing as a controlled process whilst still having a regard for beauty and psychological effect. Christopher Dean writes in The Speculum of the Other Man that Schranzer’s formal line work is both scientific and fetishist, constituting “a boys own journey into modernism.” Steering a course through abstraction and figuration, and from drawing into object-making, Schranzer’s personae and subjects are eclectic and idiosyncratic, traversing the celestial, botanical, nautical, avian alongside the male nude. They are exploited to elaborate upon themes of masculinity and self-identity, the homo-social and the erotic, the psychoanalytic, and the esoteric.

Schranzer’s recent work is underpinned by visual languages, compositions, and themes found in Japanese ‘warrior pictures’ (musha-e) of the late Edo period by Utagawa Kuniyoshi, Yoshitora, Yoshikazu, Sadahide, and Tsukioka Yoshitoshi that depict ocean battles and other legendary scenes, while using conventions and techniques found in Modernist collage practice. Many of these works employ both analogue and digital techniques: the works begin their life as ink drawings with collage elements that are scanned, digitally manipulated and montaged, then printed, and often over-drawn in their final iteration. His practice, therefore, currently sits within the realms of 19th and 20th century fine arts, engineering drawing, and digital graphics conventions, contributing to discourses on the nature of interdisciplinary practices and fusion of high and low art traditions. From a complex psychoanalytic perspective, Schranzer often adopts the alter-ego of Lop-Lop, a reference to the bird-like figure Loplop originally used as an alter-ego by the modernist artist Max Ernst. In many images, Lop-Lop himself takes on the identity of Minamoto Yoshitsune, a commander of the Minamoto clan in the early Kamakura period often described in Japanese literature as a ‘tragic hero’; a great warrior who was deeply flawed. In this regard, there is a complex quotation that is personal, cross-cultural, and art-historical.
