Nice thought about social protest/political awareness - human awareness. Both artists address issues that are important and both are very interesting and distinctly different.

Yes Ron Mueck is good. But all the people that followed Picasso are not Picasso. Mueck followed Hanson and DeAndrea for sure. So what do you think about that?

dude the funiest thing would be to have all of these people walking around, and then have one guy acting like a statue and then when they are all up in the sculptures faces looking at them just have the guy grin hella big while they are looking, that would freak people the fuck out.. but these thigns are super real looking

Here it is in terms which you should not have trouble with....only very few people in the entire world can sculpt and then finish their creations to the degree that the artists that I've listsed can....The proof is right here on Youtube...Watch them work in videos and you'll see that it's not in "Elaborate techniques" which they know and other don't...It's in their amazing ability to observe and replicate exactly what they see...Not everyone can do that...

hyper realism is the sculpture for Caravaggio. Awesome art, it makes me wonder how realist can people be, expressing themselves in their art.
