Ron Mueck is an Australian hyperrealist sculptor who started his career as a puppeteer for children’s television programmes and later transitioned to fine art. In his sculptures, Mueck reproduces every little detail of the human body.
The key change, however, is the change of size (most sculptures are oversized while others are on a much smaller scale). The artist has been hailed by some critics as ‘the greatest thing to happen in sculpture’, while others merely view him as a model maker.

Mueck’s most well-known sculpture is a work titled “Dead Dad”: a hyperrealist sculpture of the corpse of his father. Mueck works with various materials such as fiberglass resin, latex and silicone.
