Ron Mueck’s hyperrealistic sculpture tells the story of love
Couple Under An Umbrella, 2013, mixed media, 300 x 400 x 500 cm (approx.)
‘Couple Under An Umbrella’, 2013 by Ron Mueck
At first glance, especially from a picture, it is easy to assume that the Couple under an Umbrella sculpture is a real-life image frozen in time. In a world marred by conflict and competition, everybody appreciates the display of affection by people. The couple in question is quite elderly and the artist must have chosen to use this age because of its ability to influence multiple generations. The sculpture tells the story of love at the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain in Paris, France where it rests on a pavilion designed by Jean Nouvel.
