“A silent medium within a silent medium.” These are the words contemporary master Richard MacDonald uses in describing his world renowned Mime Series. MacDonald’s trademark skill at investing his evocative bronze images with movement and life is never more evident than in his innovative and eloquent mimes. Sometimes enigmatic and most assuredly metaphoric, MacDonald’s “Midnight” invites the audience to be its own storyteller. In this piece, dedicated to the mime Marcel Marceau, MacDonald captures the mime’s face in the rapture of sleep. In contrast, the artist renders an impossible agility of the mime’s grasping toes and bent shoe as he strives to stay balanced on the ball below. Delicacy and strength combine with the black and white patina to create an effect that is magic – the goal of the mime is achieved.
