    Big cats spooning in the midday sun. I just had to add this sculpture of a spooning couple by Ron Mueck. Ron Mueck is a London-based photo-realist artist. Born in Melbourne, Australia, to parents who were toy makers, he labored on children's television shows for 15 years before working in special effects for such films as "Labyrinth," a 1986 fantasy epic starring David Bowie. Mueck employs imitation and illusion to explore the ambiguous relationship between reality and artifice, creating figures that express the contradictions between the real world and the imaginary. The figures seem to be alive: every detail - veins, wrinkles, moles, body hair, rashes - is crafted to such perfection that the result is remarkably convincing and deeply troubling. The size of the works - always smaller or larger than human scale - is equally disconcerting.
