I'm going to town to have a look at the Ron Muek Life castings exhibition next week.
Ron Mueck is an Australian hyper-realist sculptor working in the UK.
Quote:Mueck, Ron (1958- ) Ron Mueck is a London-based photo-realist artist. Born in Melbourne, Australia, to parents who were toy makers, he labored on children’s television shows for 15 years before working in special effects for such films as “Labyrinth,” a 1986 fantasy epic starring David Bowie.

"Peek inside and you can see teeth, gums and even a little faux saliva," writes Plagens of "Mask II." "Stand beside it for a moment, and you'll swear you can hear him snore."
Mueck has posted shows at major galleries in New York, Germany, not to mention selection for the London Millenium Dome and now his work is the subject of a solo exhibition at that city’s highest profile contemporary art space, Anthony d’Offay gallery.
