About the Item
Like all of Richard MacDonald’s most important works, Elena Study II transcends the definition of it’s initial concept and becomes a metaphor of wide ranging meaning: different for each viewer, linked by the ideas of freedom, grace and hope. From the fertile ground of MacDonald’s Cirque Series springs the lithe, fluid form of the beautiful Elena, and in the magic of the artist’s vision, she embodies a spirit of triumph. Transcending her physical performance, Elena glides effortlessly through a perfect circle, suspended in a moment of pure beauty.

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.
