Artists and art

"Everything we see hides another thing; we always want to see what is hidden by what we see."
Rene Magritte

Here are some artists who get me all inspired and hot under the collar.

hyper real sculptures

There seems to be a bit of a trend of late to create sculptures that are terrifying in their realness (in an almost uncanny valley way) and yet slightly (or not so slightly) twisted or bizarre. Here are a few of my favourite hyper-real-silicone-sculpture artists for your weird fix for the day.

The first is Korean artist Choi Xoo Ang. Some of his works are really fricking disturbing. Some are just a bit creepy but kind of beautiful.  And of course underlying his works are pretty strong political and social statements that you can figure out for yourself. Because, hey, the whole point of ART is to not have it spelt out, right?
You can check more of his stuff out here.

The second is Sam Jinks. You can check him out here. His sculptures are less nightmarish and even more real. The detail of the skin is AMAZING.

And then there is our very own Australian Ron Mueck. He especially likes playing with the scale of the sculpture.
There are quite a few cool books about his work too which highlight his most famous exhibitions and shed some insight into his methods (click on the slideshow below for more information)
