Ron Mueck probably is one of my favorite artists ever, right next to Duane Hanson both hyperrealistic sculptors. Even though they both picture human beings, they have two very different approaches to doing it. Ron usually shows the human being in a very natural way, whereas Duane was adding clothes and objects that would fit in displaying an everyday situation of that person's life. Sometimes it is really hard to identify whether that person is real or not, however, Ron either overproportionates or underproportionates the object, making it surreal, yet realistic. Duane was portraying everday issues of the American society creating disgust, fear and sympathy. Ron's topics inclde youth, aging, birth and life. I was able to see exhibitions of both artists, Duane Hanson in Madrid, and Ron Mueck in Berlin a few years back and it was worth every penny.
