Artist Entry #21/ Sculptor#13 Ron Mueck
I decided to pick Ron Mueck because his work is truly amazing. Ron is known for his hyper realism in his sculptures. The way he can make silicone look so realistic is crazy. In all of his work the sculptures look so life like, if you didn't have a reference to it's size you'd think they were actual people. Ron likes to play with the scale of the sculptures, some are massive in size like the Charles Manson looking feller. The women leaning against the chair shows how big it really is. He does do smaller pieces (none shown), but they are just as detailed and realistic.
I like his work because conceptually it's so out there. It's genius that he is taking regular looking people and adjusts the scale and puts the sculptures in these awkward positions. I think with work of this size it would make people very uncomfortable or intimidated. Could you imagine seeing the Charles Manson looking piece looking at you with that weird facial expression; I'd be nervous as hell.
