SHOK1: ““I became immersed in graffiti writing and hiphop subculture in the summer of 1984 and over the next couple of decades produced thousands of wall paintings, drawings, characters, letter pieces, posters and other artworks. I was entirely self-taught and remain so to this day, the archetypal outsider artist.”

Mister Ronald Mueck, or Ron Mueck is an Australian sculptor, born 1958 in Melbourne, he lives and works in the UK. His hyperrealistic artwork.
Why these sort of dolls? Well, Ron’s early career was as a model maker and puppeteer for children’s television and films, so he had the know how before he entered the Artworld. In any case his creations look far too complicated and perfect to be of a layman!!:)
His work with the human body is just amazing. Definitely it is NOT about beauty! Mostly his subjects have even a really ugly, slightly gross aspect – but thats exactly what makes them so good, as well as the nudity takes the attention. His sculptors disturb and their realistic presentation is breathtaking.
a Detail
Mueck plays with both scales: large and small and he once stated:
He isn’t wrong with that:)
Mueck exhibits currently at the Hauer & Wirth Gallery in London. The exhibition is taking place until the 26th of May. Get everything here:

And if you can try to see his stuff in real, as I do promise you that its impressive to be aside of the immense realistic sculptors.
What more can I say?
Be fearless with me today*

the INTERNATIONAL GOTHIC STYLE
May 14th, 2012 | Posted by in Ancient & Middle Age Art - (Comments Off)Yeah well again some Middle Age because I won’t never get enough of this!:)
This is the so called “INTERNATIONAL GOTHIC” style:
by Simone Martini
by Melchior Broederlam: the annunciation scene
by Claus Sluter
a page out of the Book of Hours of Gian Galeazzo Visconti (Milan)
This period came up around 1400 in France and was quickly finished (already around 1430). Nevertheless it was of a great importance as it marked the footbridge between the Gothic style and the Renaissance. As you can see on the different pictures above, the style affected all levels of art at that time: from architecture, to manuscripts, to sculpture or paintings. Initially – a style of the court and sophisticated people, it spread out into mercantile classes and the smaller nobility.

The International Gothic style (also known as the “beautiful style” or the “soft style”) is characterized by a certain oddity of natural forms, a smooth and soft S-line in especially figures, as well as an elegant, delicate realism. It was a reaction to the rigidity and stiff strictness of the art in general at the end of the 14th century.
A kind of Leitmotiv for this area were the so called “beautiful madonna”, graceful madonnas with their child, often in form of sculptors. I really appreciate the softness in their expression and body language. It’s simply so beautiful. Here the last two glimpses on two madonnas of that kind:
by an unknown artist, Salburg (Germany), 1420
by Gentile da Fabriano, one of the leading artists of the International Gothic style
Have a smooth & soft day***
but just not something like this…because this one really ROCKS!!!! I love it! Thanks Arno!
