Ron Mueck is a London-based Australian sculptor who makes life-like sculptures molded from a startlingly life-like Fiberglas and silicone compound. Mueck began his career as a model maker and puppeteer for children's television and films.
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 as can be appreciated by the five pictures in the gallery. Unfortunately, as hard as I looked, I could not find an official website for Mr. Mueck but here is his wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_Mueck .
Amazing.
