Ron Mueck.
by Chris Coyier
Ron Mueck is an amazing Australian sculptor who has become known primarily for his huge hyper-realistic sculptures of people. You may recognize some of his earlier work: Labyrinth. (Yes, the one with David Bowie in tights and all the crazy little goblins). Mueck was a model maker and puppeteer for the film and voiced the character Ludo.
Follow the link below for a slideshow of images from his gallery show at the Cartier Foundation for Contemporary Art in 2005.
Some of his work can be viewed here and here, and a RealPlayer video “walkaround” can be viewed here.
Some of his work is NSFW. It’s art, you know :)

Pretty good human likeness but the Woman and Baby sculpture from the James Cohan library is a little graphic for my taste.
