Ron Mueck: Encounter brings an exceptional selection of the celebrated Australian sculptor’s work exclusively to Sydney, marking his most significant solo exhibition in the country in over a decade and his first in the city since 2003. Since the late 1990s, Mueck has transformed figurative sculpture with his meticulous realism, using shifts in scale to probe themes of birth and death, solitude and connection, and the complexities of the human condition.
At the center of the exhibition is Havoc, an immersive new installation featuring a pack of larger-than-life fighting dogs created especially for this presentation. Oversized yet quietly charged, the work draws viewers into a space that feels both intimate and unnervingly tense.
