Hair Punching/Flocking Human Hair

Ron Mueck hyper-real sculptures

Ron Muek is well known for his super-realism out of scale art works. Here I have found an article on the National Gallery of Austrailia which gives some information about Mueks work:

It is a fundamental belief of mine that the history of art is a continuum. It is the story of the constant search for creativity, finding new ways to give expression to the power of ideas in human imagination. These ideas are realised through our senses, and in true works of art, they have an effect on our emotions.

"The reason for the face being silicone where the rest of the figure is fibreglass, is because silicone, being soft and rubbery, allows the hairs to be punched in separately, giving the impression that they have grown through the scalp, whereas the hair of the pubic region has been glued on because fibreglass is so hard."
