“Elena', poised mid-air, elevated by an elegant cascade of drapery, becomes the embodiment of freedom, grace, and hope. Soaring and ethereal, the Cirque du Soleil performer sculpted in enduring bronze is transformed into a thousand memories and associations, destined to enter into our collective cultural consciousness as a lasting symbol of beauty.
In 2014 and 2015, Richard MacDonald focused intently on the minerals and pigments of his patina process - specifically on the color red. Shortly thereafter, the artist revealed his discoveries in a new exhibition entitled “Richard MacDonald: Red.” The exhibition, which highlights MacDonald's creative immersion into the hue, the emotion, and narrative of color, represents a profound new direction in the artist's work.
