Ron Mueck sculpts gigantic, realistic human figures.  This style of art is called hyperrealism.  The figures look realistic from every angle, and have lots of detail.  Many of them are nudes (I warned you!), elderly people, and people with physical flaws like most people have.  Read more about him on Wikipedia here.
