"What are you looking at?"

Big Man by Ron Mueck

Disturbingly accurate. Yes, I think those are the words to describe Ron Mueck's sculptures. They are amazing, beautiful, huge, anatomically correct, fleshy giant things. The details in these sculptures from every wrinkle, chest hair, the white in the nails, the colour of the umbilical chord is remarkable. All his works are stunning, but my favourite is Big Man, hands down. The expression of irritation on his face is so lifelike that it seems like a reaction to his situation. I almost feel guilty staring at him.

I guess, his scuptures are amazing. He capture human in an very unique from. His subjects are fairly depress, but great great works. Thanx for the posting~
