About the Item
The myth of Venus as the goddess of love and sexuality is well integrated into the latest masterwork by Richard MacDonald - Venus, 2019. Venus stands with both strength and grace, expressing soft waves through her body language, ideal for the goddess born from sea foam. Her divine form has been explored by artists from Botticelli to Matisse, always portraying her sensitivity and elegance. We see MacDonald expertly convey these themes through Venus’s soft gesture and serene facial expression, with effortless appearance. The beautiful implied movement in this artwork allows us to see Venus as though she is still sea foam bouncing off of the ocean waves.

Richard MacDonald
There are artists and there are masters. Richard MacDonald will go down in the history of sculpture as Picasso did painting, as an unequivocal master of the art.
Only a number of people can master craftsmanship, far fewer, the art of the human form. Figurative sculpture is a language MacDonald speaks with astounding fluency, and as with any language, MacDonald’s creative drive is formed from a need to share the universal dialect of the human figure with those who understand it; this is the unique privilege the artist affords his viewers.
MacDonald captures the beauty, romance and essence of the human spirit in motion. Influenced by the expressiveness in the figures of Renaissance master Donatello, the emotional intensity of works by 19th century French sculptor Auguste Rodin, and the power of Michelangelo’s sculptures, MacDonald’s inspirational, sensitive works are precisely of the moment, yet profoundly historic by reference. And they dance rhythmically for all to see — in the leap and grace of the dancer, the power of the athlete, the gesture and passion of lovers, the spirit rises, and MacDonald captures it.
