Richard MacDonald working with Sergei Polunin, principal dancer with the London Royal Ballet, at the artist's studio in London.

A B O U T T H E AR T I S T

There are artists and there are masters; Richard MacDonald will go down in the history of sculpture as Picasso did painting, as an unequivocal master of the art. Only a number of people can master craftsmanship, far fewer, the art of the human form. Influenced by the expressiveness in the figures of Renaissance Master Donatello, the emotional intensity of works by 19th Century French sculptor Auguste Rodin, and the power of Michelangelo’s sculptures, MacDonald’s inspirational, sensitive works are precisely of the moment, yet profoundly historic by reference.

GUARDIAN RED, ATELIER

The Guardian is a strongly metaphoric figure by Richard MacDonald: one that makes a bold statement evoking power, determination, and mental focus. There is a rock-solid sense that this figure is rooted in his natural element. He stands firm, imbued with a warm, ruddy patina that suggests the lifeblood we share: his tribal body paint lending an exotic and mysterious feeling to his defiant pose. Available in red and neutral patina, this is The Guardian, Atelier.

Bronze, 11 x 11 x 15.25"

TRANSCENDENCE, ATELIER

Transcendence, Atelier is a striking example of Richard MacDonald’s capacity to capture the power and vigor of an athlete. The suspended form is a paradox of strength and weightlessness: the performer is defying gravity, as the bronze itself defies gravity. Sasha, quickly unravels from his fabric, hanging upside down over 10 feet above the stage. MacDonald takes this intensely dramatic moment and gives it a profound new meaning: the ultimate pose to demonstrate the power of will and determination that gives all our actions fortitude.

ATELIER

J O I E DE V I V R E , A T E L I E R

Each figure is captured with a positive spirit, an incredible energy and emotional exuberance, while conjuring up the true essence of the joy of life.
