About the Item
"Jacques Atelier" by Richard MacDonald captures the expressive essence of the mime—a timeless symbol of vulnerability, artistry, and silent storytelling. Cast in bronze, the figure is poised in a moment of suspended emotion, inviting viewers to engage not only with the performer’s movement, but also with the internal dialogue of the human spirit. With elegant line and anatomical precision, MacDonald pays homage to the tradition of performance art while pushing the boundaries of sculptural form.
As part of MacDonald’s exclusive atelier series, "Jacques Atelier" reflects the highest level of craftsmanship and artistic intention. Created through a deeply personal studio process, its rarity lies in the hands-on refinement that defines it as a true artist’s work.
Artist initials in bronze.

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.
