• Mueck, Ron  (1958-  ) Ron Mueck is a London-based
  photo-realist artist. Born in Melbourne,
  Australia,  to parents who were toy makers, he
  labored on childrens television shows for 15
  years before working in special effects for such
  films as Labyrinth, a 1986 fantasy epic
  starring David Bowie.    Muek then started his
  own company in London, making models to be
  photographed for advertisements. He has lots of
  the dolls he made during his advertising years
  stored in his home. Although some still have, he
  feels, a presence on their own, many were made
  just to be photographed from a particular
  angleone strip of a face, for example, with a
  lot of loose material lurking an inch outside the
  cameras frame.   Eventually Mueck concluded
  that photography pretty much destroys the
  physical presence of the original object, and
  so he turned to fine art and sculpture. In the
  early 1990s, still in his advertising days, Mueck
  was commissioned to make something highly
  realistic, and was wondering what material would
  do the trick. Latex was the usual, but he wanted
  something harder, more precise. Luckily, he saw a
  little architectural decor on the wall of a
  boutique and inquired as to the nice, pink
  stuffs nature. Fiberglass resin was the answer,
  and Mueck has made it his bronze and marble ever
  since.    In the three years since his
  participation in Sensation Works from the
  Saatchi Collection, Mueck has posted shows at
  major galleries in New York, Germany, not to
  mention selection for the London Millenium Dome
  and now his work is the subject of a solo
  exhibition at that citys highest profile
  contemporary art space, Anthony dOffay gallery
