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.
"Talent does what it can; genius
does what it must."
