Mueck’s work is very hyper-real meaning distorting or
exaggerating reality. This shows in his work because his sculptures look like
actual people because of the detail , but are made either too big or too small
for example pregnant woman, one of Mueck’s sculputers is 2.5m high or dead dad
one of his most popular sculptures only 3 feet long. Mueck doesn’t like making
life sized sculptures because he doesn’t find it interesting.
Renaissance Humanism is the spirit of learning that
developed at the end of the middle ages with the revival of classical letters
and a renewed confidence in the ability of human beings to determine for
themselves truth and falsehood, humanism is shown in mueck’s work because of
the detail on th sculptures which make them look so real also the emotions they
express.
Now this sculpture
titled boy would be interesting to see in an art gallery mainly because
of it’s size . as you can see the sculpture is of a boy who is crouching while
staring at something with his arms resting on his knees and hands resting on
his head. Looks pretty cool because you expect it to be human size or a tiny
sculpture right?....
