RON MUECK

'DRIFT'

Ron Mueck is a hyperrealist artist/sculptor from Australia. His work is often described as 'scarily accurate' or 'hauntingly fake'. His work is amazing on paper in photographs and I would love to see it up close and personal. This feeling of seeing something that looks so real and yet knowing it's not links in with the theory of 'the uncanny'. The UNCANNY is a theme that will be a starting point for our group projects. - (Hurlston, D (2011). Ron Mueck. Melbourne : Yale University Press.)
