free post-my favorite sculptor


One of my favorite artist are the Australian sculptor Ron Mueck, he is an avant-garde sculptor belonging to hyper realistic current, an art movement emerged in the early '60s, whose techniques aspire to an almost photographic precision.

One of the major exponents of the moment is the sculptor Ron Mueck, whose sculptures reproduce faithfully the details of the human body, playing with scale to create images that shake us.

In the works of Ron Mueck imposing dimensions tend to contrast with the fragility of the moment depicted: the greatest figures usually coincide with the most vulnerable.

The people depicted, seemingly ordinary, motivate tenderness and solidarity of the viewer and at the same time will face the disturbing connection between the body and existence.

to Mueck is interested in working with the visitors  empathy, so their works attempt to become a deliberate zoom in on the world that surrounds us.

"Young Couple" is one of his works, and is probably the most controversial. This is a young couple, carved small size, which seems to share a confidence. This results in the viewer, sympathy and even certain feeling of nostalgic. However, viewed from behind, the picture becomes violent to warn the aggressive hand contact with teenagers.Mueck and test all possible reading codes and allows the viewer to set their own interpretation.
