Sculpting the Invisible:
Power, Presence, and Poise

 

 

 

 

In the masterful hands of Richard MacDonald, bronze transcends its physical form to capture what cannot be seen: the essence of human potential, the fleeting moment of perfect balance, and the invisible forces that shape our existence.

 

This exhibition showcases MacDonald's unparalleled ability to freeze time at the apex of human achievement. His figures-dancers, athletes, and performers caught in moments of extraordinary physical expression-reveal the culmination of his five-decade journey exploring the boundaries between physical form and spiritual essence.

 

MacDonald's signature neoclassical style breathes life into metal, transforming cold bronze into warm flesh that seems to pulse with energy. Each sculpture invites viewers to witness the precise moment when physical discipline meets artistic transcendence, when the body becomes both instrument and art.

 

From the gravity-defying poises to the intimate and emotional figurative works, this exhibition presents over thirty signature pieces that demonstrate MacDonald's mastery of his medium and his profound understanding of the human form in motion.

 

Visitors will experience the evolution of one of America's most celebrated sculptors-an artist who continues to push the boundaries of figurative art by capturing not just what the eye can see, but what the spirit can feel.

 

Join us for an unforgettable encounter with beauty, strength, and the ineffable qualities that make us human, as rendered by a true master of contemporary sculpture.
