Don Mueck is a London-based photo-realist artist. Born in Melbourne, Australia, to parents who were toy makers, he worked on children's television shows for 15 years before working in special effects for David Bowie. In the early 1990's, still in his advertising days, Mueck was commissioned to sculpt something highly realistic, and was wondering what material would do the trick. Luckily, he saw a little architectural decor on the wall of a boutique and asked what the nice, pink stuff was made of. Fibreglass resin was the answer and Mueck has made it his choice for sculpture ever since
