influential artist: RON MUECK 1958-

Despite having no desire to create in three dimensions I find this work very appealing. I have been asked to create a painting based very loosely on Ron Mueck's angel, which has lead me into his world which I very much enjoy.

The likeness to my own work is minimal, and although he works in three dimensions I still find it relevant that I enjoy his work so much. There's a narrative quality in his work, along with a simplicity and calm in the finished piece (despite how complex they are).
