Ron Mueck is a London-based sculptor who has been creating fine art sculptures since 1996. He creates them without shying away from human life aspects. His works portray the key stages of human life- from birth through middle age to death.
The colors and proportions used on the sculptures are perfect on each piece, but what makes them unbelievable, is their size. Some he makes incredibly large, while others he makes pint-sized. For example, the newborn sculpture takes an entire room. Regardless of their dimensions however, the sculptures are mind-blowing!
Mr Mueck was previously a renown model maker and puppeteer in children�s television and films. In his 30�s however, he turned into fine art for a living. He sculpts the clay, makes plaster, moulds it, and then replaces the clay with a silicone, fiberglass and resin mixture.
His techniques and skills are largely found in cinematic and theatrical special effects.
