The incredible work of hyperrealist sculptor Ron Mueck
Australian sculptor Ron Mueck started out as a model maker and puppeteer. Soon thereafter he began his own company in London where he started making photo realistic props for the advertising industry. Muecks mother-in-law introduced him to Charles Saatchi who started collecting and commissioning his work.
Mueck’s sculptors are incredibly realistic. The key difference is the scale to which the sculptors are built. Often they are larger than life or much smaller. I had the opportunity to see his sculpture “Boy” in 2000 at the Millennium Dome in London. Truly remarkable and painstaking work.
