Creepy Beautiful

A Girl (2006) - new born baby, with part of umbilical cord and some blood.

Untitled (Big Man) (2000) - a nearly seven-foot sculpture of a naked, completely hairless, belligerent-looking man sitting with his knees drawn up and his elbows resting on his knees, his head in his hand.

Mask Self Portrait (2007) - eight-foot sculptur

Seeking something eerie yet completely fascinating to do? Well pop down to the exhibition at the Ron Mueck NGV. Mueck, an Australian artist, creates sculptures that represent the human form in all of its perfection - right down to the last imperfection. His style is what you call Hyperrealism meaning, he creates unbelievably life-like sculptures. Sculptures that are as detailed as a high res image. His work is that accurate, that you feel as though you're looking at a living and breathing new born child or naked man, even if they are 3 meters long and motionless.

Ron's attention to detail is truly unbelievable - his sculptures have dewy cheeks, wrinkled ankles, cracked lips, rough elbows, real hair and awkward facial expressions that suggest they have feelings and thoughts.

Whilst pretty bizarre I would suggest heading to NGV to see it with your own peepers.
