I joined Sue, Valerie and Hermoine in attending the very interesting exhibition of artworks by Australian artist Ron Mueck at the Art Gallery of NSW. Ron Mueck specialises in ultra realistic depictions of human subjects. However, the artworks are not life sized – being ether too small or too large.
Here are some of my photos of the artworks –
Pregnant Woman 2002
Woman with Shopping 2013
Spooning Couple 2005
Young Couple 2013
Dark Place 2018
Man in Blankets 2000
Ghost 1998/2014
Woman with Sticks 2009-10
Crouching Boy in Mirror 1999-2002
Chicken/Man 2019
Big Man 2000
Havoc 2025
This new artwork reflects the artist’s recent change indirection from ultra-realism to a depiction of action and form –
The Little Piggy 2023-25
Couple Under an Umbrella 2013/2015
The last work is on display in the old building at the Art Gallery.
Old Woman in Bed 2000/2002
These artworks with their amazing details are quite extraordinary. Well worth seeing.
