Blind Faith is an emphatic expression of the call to live life with passion, faith, and courage. Such a life is shaped by vision: not the vision of the eyes, but the unlimited vision of the imagination. Richard MacDonald has lived this way, and he encourages others to find the same faith and conviction. This idea is one that will, perhaps, define this era of our new millennium—a common rallying cry for achievement in the 21st century.
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.
