Sticks

Woman with sticks. Sculpture by Ron Mueck

Ron Mueck exhibition at Mexico City’s ‘Antiguo Colegio de San Ildefonso‘ which offered very different insights into the mind of a unique contemporary artist.

Mueck is an Australian sculptor specialising in hyperrealism. The exhibition in Mexico City was ‘Hiperrealismo de Alto Impacto’ (High Impact Hyperrealism).

Mueck takes human and animalistic forms in all their fragility, strength and emotions and either amplifies or diminishes the size to provoke an intensified reaction.

San Ildefonso

The San Ildefonso College currently is a museum and cultural center in Mexico City, considered to be the birthplace of the Mexican muralism movement. San Ildefonso began as a prestigious Jesuit boarding school, and after the Reform War, it gained educational prestige again as National Preparatory School. This school and the building closed completely in 1978, then reopened as a museum and cultural center in 1994. The museum has permanent and temporary art and archeological exhibitions in addition to the many murals painted on its walls by José Clemente Orozco, Fernando Leal, Diego Rivera and others. The complex is located between San Ildefonso Street and Justo Sierra Street in the historic center of Mexico City. [Wiki]
