Amazing Ron Mueck's Amazing sculptures..!!!

Amazing Ron Mueck's Amazing sculptures..!!!

Ron Mueck is a London-based photo-realist artist. Born in Melbourne,Australia, to parents who were toy makers, he labored on children's television shows for 15 years before working in special effects for such films as Labyrinth, a 1986 fantasy epic starring David Bowie. Eventually Mueck concluded that photography pretty much destroys the physical presence of the original object, and so he turned to fine art and sculpture. In the early 1990's, still in his advertising days, Mueck was commissioned to make something highly realistic, and was wondering what material would do the trick. Latex was the usual, but he wanted something harder, more precise. Luckily, he saw a little architectural decor on the wall of a boutique and inquired as to the nice, pink stuff's nature. Fiberglass resin was the answer, and Mueck has made it his bronze and marble ever since




His work is lifelike but not life size, and being face to face with the tiny, gossiping Two Women (2005) or the monumental woman In Bed (2005) is an unforgettable experience.









Amazing Giant Donut Made of Donuts...!!!!

Amazing Giant Donut Made of Donuts...!!!!

IF Homer Simpson thought heaven was the episode where he was in hell
with a never-ending supply of doughnuts, then Circular Quay this morning
would have come a close second. To celebrate the release of The Simpsons
Movie on dvd, the Simpsons family oversaw the construction of the world’s
largest doughnut.
And the numbers?
It took 40 people over nine hours to build, using over 90,000 doughnuts, half
a tonne of pink icing and 30kg of sprinkles from Donut King.
The giant doughnut measures six metres and weighs a whopping 3.5 tonnes,
which is the equivalent of two rhinoceroses.
Once the giant doughnut’s media duties are complete, the doughnuts will be
donated to Oz Harvest, a Sydney-based charity that collects excess food for
organisations that feed disadvantaged men, women and children.
