Extraordinary Life-like Sculptures by Ron Mueck


There are already several sites that feature this extra-ordinary artist but I just had to share this with you. The first time a saw his works, it just blew me away. His work breaks the fine line between reality and illusion. I wish I could actually come and see his gallery, I think it would be like entering another world!



Here are some of his selected works:

In Bed (2005) a giant sculpture of a woman lying in bed.


Boy (2000), fibreglass, resin, silicone - a 5 metre tall sculpture of a boy, crouching. First shown in the UK Millennium Dome exhibition.

A Girl (2006), a vast sculpture of a newborn baby.


Wild Man (2005), a nine-foot sculpture of a naked, bearded man.

Spooning Couple (2005), a miniature sculpture of a couple lying together on a bed.


Ron Mueck’s self-portrait, Mask II (2001-2002); and Mask III (2005).


Big Man, 2000. a nearly seven-foot sculpture of a naked, completely hairless, belligerent-looking man sitting with his knees drawn up and his elbows resting on his knees, his head in his hand sitting on a corner.


Two Women Grim (2005) - two diminutive, clothed, elderly women.


An exhibition is on at The Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA, from December 12, 2007 through March 30, 2008.
