About the Item
Formed by two exquisitely defined figures, one the archetype of male perfection, and the other reflecting an image of the ideal female form, these two figures mirror each other, and intensify the viewers experience of their upward gaze and stretching gesture. In the case of Inspiratio the light that shines on the surface of the bronze figures slips over the forms, gilding them, and making every muscular curve a thing of beauty. There is a sense of completeness when Richard MacDonald combines the male and female form in one work of art, a balance and harmony that goes to our core understanding of humanity.

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.
