These are some examples of the amazing sculptures by Australian sculptor Ron Mueck.
He started his career as a model maker and puppeteer on Jim Henson productions such as Fraggle Rock and Labyrinth.
In 1996 Mueck transitioned to fine art. His sculptures faithfully reproduce the minute detail of the human body, but play with scale to produce disconcertingly jarring visual images.
I was lucky enough to see an exhibition of his work in Edinburgh in 2006. The realism of his sculptures is amazing, you expect them to get up and move around at any moment.
