Ron Mueck is an Australian hyperrealist sculptor working in Great Britain. He was as a model maker and puppeteer for children’s television and films, notably the film Labyrinth and the Jim Henson series The Storyteller.

His work is stunning, and captivating. My wife and I saw a piece at ArtBasel Miami and we couldn’t keep from looking back at it as we moved on to another piece.

Don’t miss these studio images of how its done.
