A Little Blurb

OHHHEMGEE CHECK OUT THIS ARTIST!! His name is Ron Mueck... he's from Australia but he now works in the UK. He is described as a "Hyperrealist Sculptor"

Most of his pieces are larger-than-life, although he has sculpted some to-scale and smaller figures. His method consists of sculpting figues out of fiberglass resin and adding details such as hair.


I find his work soooo incredibly intriguing but also pretty disturbing at the same time. He pays close attention to the minor details of the human body, which is what contributes to his sculptures looking to realistic.



*Sneak Peak* This picture inspired me somewhat when working on my "shocking" piece of art... i'll talk about that later in another post (hopefully tomorrow or thursday night):



He has tons of other works, google him to see more! They're AMAZING!!
