Artists have long explored the subject of sleep as a magical state of being in which the physical body appears in serene repose, but the spirit soars in a colorful and emotion-filled world of reverie. Reflecting a lifelong fascination with the human psyche, Richard MacDonald gives dramatic expression to this profound aspect of human reality in Pillows. The first in a series of works relating to the state of sleep, Pillows reveals the compelling sensuality of the female figure through the expressive modeling of form and delicate rendering of details. A work of rare and subtle beauty, Pillows conveys a vital physical presence, while evoking a mood of quite contemplation and harmony.
