Artist Profile
Ron Mueck Ron Mueck was born in Melbourne, Australia in 1958, and currently lives in London. He was engaged in making models for movies and TV programs from the end of the 1970s, and started to produce his works afterwards. He has participated in many group exhibitions since the middle of the 1990s. In recent years, he holds solo exhibitions all over the world, and has attracted a great deal of attention in the contemporary art scene. Mueck uses present-day materials such as silicon and fiberglass to express a human body in sculpture by means of a classic casting technique. The unrealistic work size and extreme realism can be regarded as his keen criticism of the nature of human existence. His works are collected by museums including San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (U.S.A.), Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth (U.S.A.), National Galleries of Scotland, Edinburgh.
