Ron Mueck is born in Melbourne in 1958. Has worked for 20 years as puppet-maker for advertising and for TV shows like The Muppets show or as special effects creator in movies like Labyrinth, before becoming an artist.

Ron Mueck, nato a Melbourne, in Australia nel 1958, ha lavorato per venti anni come  “puppet maker” per la pubblicità, per trasmissioni televisive come The Muppets e come creatore di effetti speciali per film come Labyrinth, prima di approdare all’arte contemporanea.

His sculputers are made with mixed techniques, and reproduce human figures in an iperrealistic way. I’ve been astonished looking at them in person in an exhibition in London, they’re really incredible, not just for the realism and details, but also for the strange effect of the size, creating a real/unreal effect. An unforgettable experience.

2womenLe sculture di Mueck realizzate con tecniche miste, riproducono fedelmente nei minimi dettagli figure umane. Mi è capitato di vederle dal vivo in una mostra a Londra e sono veramente strabilianti, oltre che per il dettaglio e il realismo, anche per il gioco delle dimensioni che produce un effetto strano di reale e irreale, un’esperienza tridimensionale indimenticabile.
