Richard MacDonald is an artist of unusual depth and complexity. Sculpture has become his primary means of expression, yet this ability was built upon the foundation of a rigorous training in the classical tradition of representative painting and drawing. Drawing and painting have an immediacy that carries the artist’s first inspiration directly to the viewer. For collectors interested in rarity and historicity, the original paintings and drawings of Richard MacDonald hold the essence of the first idea—with spontaneity, freshness, and a highly personal style, they give a glimpse into the creative and emotional state of an unusually gifted artist.
