Ron Mueck is a hyperrealistic sculptor. His sculptures are made to be uncomfortably realistic in shape, colour, texture etc. however, they are all over-sized, this creates further uncomfort and creepiness. You wouldn't normally see a baby twice the size of a full grown adult, the hyperreality of the scupltures confuses the brain (cognitive dissonance) and creates a sense of uncanny.
