Mück Ron (Ron Mueck), an Australian by birth, has not received a classical art education - a fact that well-educated critics will never get tired imputed to him. For many years he worked with television and film - made the statues and moving figures - animatronics - for special effects. Artist, he began in 1997, when the Saatchi Gallery in the exhibition «Sensations» Mück showed a statue of "Dead Dad" - an anatomically correct silicone exact copy of the corpse of his father, reduced by about 40 percent.

And just six years later he had a solo exhibition at the National Gallery in London, and then that first appeared epithets "big and clever." Mück obviously deducted somewhere in the definition of "hyperbole" and understood it quite literally. He also read a word Hyperrealism (surprising since he has not received artistic vocational education). In 2003, the National Gallery in London, as well as in 2006 in the National Gallery in Edinburgh, it is amazing game scale and naturalism. Naked people are anatomically correct. They have wrinkles and folds of fat, reproductive organs, varicose veins, and they are enormous. Some of the statues - in two human growth. Others - in four. Third, in contrast, adult waist. If size mattered, then catch his visitors trying commensurate with its sensitivity and training. Schoch, a trick or something more substantial?
