We covered the amazing Ron Mueck several months ago right here at Dogmatic and now some more amazing photos of his work have surfaced.
Ron Mueck is an Australian hyper-realist sculptor working in the UK. His incredible sculptures of creepy, grotesque, mottled skin and uncannily gigantic proportional figures have adorned the Millennium Dome as well as Charles Saatchi’s living room for a number of years now. It would be fair to say, Mueck’s one of the leading contemporary artists of today.
His early career was as a model maker and puppeteer for children’s television and films, notably the film ‘Labyrinth’ staring Bowie. Mueck moved on to establish his own company in London, making photo-realistic props and animatronics for the advertising industry. This eventually led him to conclude, ‘photography pretty much destroys the physical presence of the original object’, and so he turned to fine art, in particular, sculpture.
Follow the jump and be prepared to be blown away…
WOW! Thanks for turning me on to this artist. This guys work is totally awesome! I had never heard of this artist or his work; which shocks the hell out of me.
Tired of politicians not listening to a word you say?
The Australian Government is thinking of setting up a ‘blog’ for the public to express their views on public policy.
Have your say on what form it should take here:
