Ron Mueck | Brooklyn Museum

Posted: November 29th, 2006 | Author: Ray | Filed under: art, nyc | 5 Comments »

When I first saw Ron Mueck’s work back in ’99 at the controversial exhibit Sensation (remember Giuliani getting his panties in a wad about the Virgin Mary painting with dung on it?), I was blown away. The Australian sculptor Mueck, replicates the minute details of the human body using silicon and mixed media, but plays with scale to produce impressively distressed images. His work is extraordinarily lifelike, bringing the viewer closer to study every detail, while inducing feelings of guilt from examining the vulnerable nakedness of the subjects.

Mueck’s solo exhibition can be experienced at the Brooklyn Museum now through February 4th. More pictures after the jump…

    Featured on HBO’s program,”Real Sex” was a company that made life size, sex dolls. They used the same materials as Mr. Mueck, but they were nowhere near his artistry. Do you know the name of the company, and their address?
