Painter Ron Muecklike all others hyperrealists, advises people to pay more attention to the simple things around them. And then the world will seem insanely interesting and bright. And with all his creativity, this author emphasizes the described concept. An example of this is the new work of this sculptor - Couple under an umbrella.
Ron Maek is well known to people who are more or less versed in contemporary art. His hyperrealistic work evokes surprise, admiration or disgust, depending on who is admiring them. It was this author who created a giant dead chicken hanging upside down in one of the halls of an art gallery, or several sculptures of naked people at once, whose height is several times the height of an ordinary person.
In his new work, the sculpture Couple Under An Umbrella (Two under an umbrella), Ron Maek does not deviate from his own style, developed over the years. In it, he portrayed a married couple of already elderly people who are basking in bathing suits on the beach, hiding from the sun's rays with a multi-colored umbrella.
This sculpture was created so realistically that it seems as if they are living people who are about to budge and begin to collect things to go home. But one has only to pay attention to a real person standing next to him, who is one and a half times lower than these old people, and everything falls into place.
Ron Mack does not embellish life and does not try to show it blacker than it is. The artist only depicts as realistically as possible what he produces around each of us, trying to draw our attention to the beauty and diversity of the world around us, to think about simple but insanely important things.
The sculpture Couple Under An Umbrella by Ron Maek is now on display at the Fondation Cartier in Paris. She will stay there until September 2013.
