Oh So Pretty Art - Ron Mueck


Angel

The following sculptures are not what I would class as “pretty” but anyone who can appreciate amazing art will appreciate this incredible artist.  

Woman With Sticks

His work may not be to everyone’s taste, I certainly wouldn’t want any of these sculptures displayed in my home, but there is no denying the talent and precision that has gone into every piece of work.

 I love art that you just can’t help but look at, whether ugly or pretty, and this most certainly falls into the category of art I love.

 


Spooning Couple
 This is the work of Ron Mueck, an Australian hyperrealist sculptor currently working in the United Kingdom.  


A Girl
 The piece which made his name, in 1996, was Dead Dad. which is a sculpture of the corpse of his own father, in which Mueck used his own hair.

Unfortunately I can't find an official website but you can find information on Wikipedia and plenty of other sites using a search engine.

  2. These works look too real, some of them are scary too.

    In general interesting work and bold, if I may say.

    Sculpture of the big head is impressive.

    How much material do you think he used for that?

  3. They are so real! I have to admit, I think they'd scare me a little, but I do really like the angel
