Ron Mueck is a contemporary artist who has pushed the boundaries of figurative sculpture through his innovative use of materials, techniques, and methods of expression. The artist gained attention through his participation in “Sensation: Young British Artists from the Saatchi Collection” at the Royal Academy of Arts, London, and has since held solo exhibitions around the world. This exhibition marks the artist’s second solo show in Japan, following the retrospective held at the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa in 2008. It is the continuance of a long-lasting relationship between the artist and the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain. Starting with its premiere in Paris, the exhibition traveled to Milan and Seoul, and is now co-organized by the Mori Art Museum and the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain for its presentation in Tokyo.Ron Mueck’s sculptures challenge our perception of reality through the careful manipulation of scale and their ability to conjure a convincing sense of the specific while simultaneously retaining an ambiguity which leaves them open to individual reflection. They possess a mysterious yet intensely powerful presence which interrogates our relationship with our bodies and, more broadly, with existence itself.
