Ron Mueck
Early
in his career, Australian born
sculptor Ron Mueck worked as a
model maker and puppeteer for
children's television and
films. One of these films was
Labyrinth
(starring David Bowie) for
which he also contributed the
voice of Ludo.
In 1996 Ron Mueck transitioned
to fine art and began
exploring the realm of hyperealism.
Mueck's
sculptures have faithfully reproduced
the minute detail of the human body
and play with scale to produce
disconcertingly jarring visual images.
In recent years, Mueck has had
exhibitions in Japan, the United
Kingdom, the United States, Canada,
Australia and New Zealand.
