Octavio Ocampo: Quixotic

   Posted by: Kenneth Rougeau    in Art, Artists, painting

Mouth of the Flower by Octavio Ocampo (http://www.octavioocampo.com.mx)

Octavio Ocampo finds in painting a source of intellectual as well as plastic pleasure. Behind that deep green gaze of his, he does not hesitate to assert that his main concern is to be generous to the spectator of his metamorphic figures, intending by all means to make them forget their ennui. From his academic beginnings, Ocampo has evolved toward a style of his own, free of deep crises and governed by his naturally playful penchant for mysterious atmospheres & optical illusions. He has been fascinated by these from an early age, when he realised that gestaltic forms are unstable, capricious. Therefore, he has worked as a scenographer and as a muralist, enthralled by the deceit, the visual game.” – María Helena Noval, critic

Spooning Couple - hyper-realistic sculpture by Ron Mueck

Spooning Couple - hyper-realistic sculpture by Ron Mueck

Ron Mueck is a hyper-realistic sculptor from Australia. His amazingly lifelike creations are immensely detailed, bearing all of the beautiful flaws that you’d find on any living human being. Blemishes, scarring, unruly bits of hair, and a captivating expressiveness combine to create incredibly compelling statues. Mueck’s sculptures faithfully reproduce the minute detail of the human body, but play with scale to produce disconcertingly jarring visual images.
