Finished Cups on Loan

Ron Mueck

He is an Australian hyper-realist sculptor; he started off as a model maker and a puppeteer. Mueck depicts the human body in great detail in his works but never makes them life-sized because according to him, "...it never seemed to be interesting. We meet life-size people every day." He uses multimedia such as latex, fiberglass resin, and hair to complete his sculptures and on average takes up to 4 weeks on each of his projects.
