Ron Mueck's Works: Reality, Detail, and Playful Sculptural Scale!

Ron Mueck is a hyperrealist sculptor who was born in Australia in 1958 and now lives in Great Britain.

In his early career he was as a model maker and puppeteer for children's television and films, notably the film Labyrinth.


He now sculptures many hyper realistic works with silicone, acrylic and fibre glass.

Mueck's sculptures faithfully reproduce the minute detail of the human body, but play with scale to produce disconcertingly jarring visual images.
