As with Richard MacDonalds entire Cirque series, Transcendance has many layers of metaphor and meaning to challenge and intrigue viewers. Transcendance is a striking example of Richard MacDonalds rare gift for capturing the power and vigor of an athlete. Richard MacDonald has taken this intensely dramatic moment and given it a resonant new meaning: this is the ultimate pose to demonstrate the strength of will and determination that gives all our actions strength. Transcendance is an eloquent statement about the human spirit.
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.
