Ron Mueck is a sculptor of hyper-realistic, large-scale pieces that are absolutely amazing.  I had the pleasure of seeing his solo exhibit in 2006 at The Brooklyn Museum. The pieces were truly cool and rendered with such detail, and I was happy I had the chance to "experience" them in-person so I could take in their scale. Nothing like a 30ft baby or giant woman in bed... dreamlike in a way that makes you feel like you're crashing a fairytale starring giants.

He has a new show about to open in Paris that looks to debut some new work along side older pieces. if you're in Paris, check it out and be sure to let me know how it is!​ For more, check out Juxtapoz.
