About the Item
The dancing form of Viktor Kee, composed within a tight baroque spiral, powerfully suggests the force of energy that propels this performer across the stage. Like a dancing flame, elusive and ephemeral, "Leap of Faith" breaks the bonds of gravity, and seems to twist and spring before our eyes. With a lightness that defies the substance of the bronze, the sculptor has given this figure a powerful athleticism, tempered by grace and wit. The blind-fold reminds us that Viktor's feats take courage and tremendous self-confidence: he is the embodiment of the power of faith in action. Balancing on a cube, we see that his will creates a second by second triumph over gravity -- "Leap of Faith" is the very essence of "living in the moment".

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.
