What a rumpus about Ron Mueck’ hyper realistic sculptures.
Of course it is outstanding.
But what with other masters of this style.
What about Evan Penny.
and this video ? isn’t it really astonishing ?

but what’s the point of this ?
Though I find these artists technically very talented, I really do not like these kind of things which are nothing less but artcraft. Such portraits can be performed as well by craftsmen working for Tussaud.
Nevertheless I admit I am not sure I could do as well even if I were given enough time to succeed in this task. And supposing I could, certainly I would strive integrating something deeper than simple ressemblance.
