RON MUECK (b. 1958) IS A HYPER-REAL SCULPTOR FROM AUSTRALIA NOW LIVING IN LONDON. His work can create an alarming reaction to viewers because of what he does with scale. When you look at photos of his studio (all © photographer Gautier Deblonde) you will see that what he does is extremely labor intensive.
Mueck started his career as in London where he was a model-maker for children’s television and films, including the amazing film Labyrinth. His first work which captured the attention of collector’s and the fine art world was Dead Dad, a sculpture of Mueck’s father. In that piece he used his own hair for the piece which was smaller in scale that life size.
