Katherine Bust, Platinum draws on Richard MacDonald's unique sensitivity to the experience of the dancer. Based on a classical study for the masterwork Dance the Dream, this beautiful portrait captures the grace and beauty of a ballerina in a private moment of reflection. Her grace and serene presence immediately draws us in.
Warm, silvery, and rare, the platinum patina of this distinctive series by Richard MacDonald creates a play of light that heightens our sense of the underlying sculpted form. Contemporary in conception and limited to editions of only eight, with some works featured as one-of-a-kind, this body of work reveals the essential beauty of the human form. As mercurial as human nature itself, light glances off the platinum creating dramatic shadows that seem to strengthen form and enhance the sense of life captured by the artist.
