Art: Ron Mueck

Depending on your source, Ron Mueck is a hyper-realist or photo-realist. I vote for hyper. For what it's worth, Wikipedia says:

Mueck's sculptures faithfully reproduce the minute detail of the human body, but play with scale to produce disconcertingly jarring visual images. His five metre high sculpture Boy 1999 [inset] was a feature in the Millennium Dome and later exhibited in the Venice Biennale.

Check the link for pics from a show in Russia. Quasi-NSFW.

Via Boing Boing.
