Ron Muick creating his work. The hyper-realistic sculptures of Australian sculptor Ron Muick (66) are more human-like than real people. Therefore, audiences who encounter his work for the first time experience a breathtaking experience. First because of the bizarreness, then because of the admiration that such realistic sculptures could exist, and finally, “as I faced the essential question of what it is that distinguishes humans from non-humans” (British art critic) Marina Warner).
Muik was born to parents who made toys. Thanks to the dexterity he inherited from his parents, Muik also gained attention in the broadcasting industry by working in the production of miniatures for use in film, television, and commercials. However, he jumped into the fine arts world, saying, “I want to do my own thing.” Afterwards, he was noticed by legendary British gallerist Charles Saatchi and rose to stardom. The art world praised him, saying, “His work conveys a shocking mystery even without difficult explanations from critics or curators.” Ron Muick’s work ‘Mask II’. Ron Muick’s work creation process. Ron Muick’s work ‘Couple Under the Parasol’. Since then, Muik has continued to work on his works and has established a unique status in the contemporary art world. His work has become a hot topic in Korea. This is because his work ‘Mask II’ (2002) is displayed in the first part of ‘Human, Seven Questions’, the reopening exhibition of the Leeum Museum of Art in 2021. His large-scale exhibition is scheduled at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art early next year. This is an opportunity to experience Muik’s world of work, which is breathtaking just by looking at it.
