The amazing art of Ron Mueck

On the weekend we went to the Queensland Gallery of Modern Art to see the Ron Mueck exhibition. The line up was long, the crowds were huge, but it was entirely worth the effort! Mueck's sculptures are amazingly lifelike and designed on a scale (large and small) that give you no choice but to look twice. It is incredible the way he is able to capture the intricacies of our human bodies (the hair is amazing) as well as our emotions.

I love the way this photo (below) captures the image of the young boy standing so still with everyone moving around him.
I felt that this 'giant' man could stand up at any moment and walk away. He looked so uncomfortable being where he was. If you ever get the chance, make the effort to see a Ron Mueck exhibtion.
