Ron Mueck’s sculptures are so lifelike it’s frightening. Mueck, an Australian “hyperrealist” sculptor, will bring his realistic sculptures to Brisbane’s Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA) this weekend for a three month long exhibition. His lifelike depictions are, as a matter-of-fact, larger than life. “Mask II”, the sculpture above, measures 77.2 cm x 118.1 cm x 85.1 cm = much larger than the.. err.. average human head. Mueck has shown at numerous galleries including the Brooklyn Museum in New York City and at the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa. It will be a certainly unusual, original and all ’round unmissable exhibition – there’s no one like him in the art world today. As the winter chill sets over the following months, seek refuge at GoMA and be amazed/inspired/and be creeped out by Mueck’s realistic sculptures.
Ron Mueck’s sculptures will be on show at GoMa from Saturday 8 May – Sunday 1 August.
Adult’s admission is $12.
