About the Item
The essence of dance is captured in a single, soaring moment in "Flight in Attitude, Red, Atelier". Richard MacDonald freezes time as the performer arches upward in a sweeping attitude pose—one leg extended, arms reaching in harmony, and the body alive with motion. It is a moment where gravity seems optional and emotion becomes form. Poised between strength and serenity, this sculpture celebrates the human spirit in its most expressive state.
Finished in a radiant red patina, this limited-edition bronze exudes energy and warmth. The rich hue enhances every sculptural detail, bringing added vibrance to the figure’s elevation and grace. Hand-finished and cast using the lost-wax method, "Flight in Attitude, Red, Atelier" is a rare and timeless tribute to movement, mastery, and meaning.

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.
