Ron Mueck

There are many artists that use realism in their work and create sculptures that look like human beings, except they have the strange lifeless look to them that can create the feeling of the uncanny for some people. London-based sculptor Ron Mueck, formerly a model maker and puppeteer for children's television and films, has been creating fine art sculptures since 1996. Using resin, fiberglass, silicone, and many other materials, Mueck constructs hyperrealistic likenesses of human beings, while playing with scale. The detailed sculptures are captivating when viewed up close, as they may be many times larger or smaller than expected. Here is some of his work:
