Ronald "Ron" Mueck

Ronald "Ron" Mueck (born 1958) is an Australian hyperrealist sculpture working in the United Kindom. Mueck's sculptures faithfully reproduce the minute detail of the human body, but play with scale to produce disconcertingly jarring visual images. Mueck’s work is always out of scale from reality. His figures are either oversized or undersized. They strive for super realism, but there is a psychological confrontation between these two contradictory realities, the effort to deceive by perfection, and the obvious discrepancy of scale. Ron Mueck’s work is sculpture. He does not make models, giant or tiny puppets.
