A couple spoon on a stone slab bed, a mother cradles her baby and a giant man’s face looks stunningly realistic for the models which have in fact been created in a workshop.
London-based sculptor Ron Mueck creates the hyper-realistic sculptures by hand and they range from heart-warming to slightly unsettling.
He has managed to make a couple under an umbrella look like they are sat in the room with you, while another shows a newborn baby still bloody with its umbilical chord attached.
Mueck sculpts the masterpieces in clay inside a plaster mould, before replacing it with a mixture of fibreglass, silicone and resin.
He has been making them since 1996, after moving from his former job as a model maker and puppeteer for children’s television.
Mueck also likes to play with scale to make some of his works large while others are tiny.
Unbelievable indeed, so beautiful. Mehn kudos to the creator!
