About the Item
In “The Ritual, Female Dancer”, a wave of energy moves up the linear column and erupts from the architectonic strata of time to express the sensual, rhythmic dance of creation. As an eternal expression of feminine energy, the figure symbolizes half of the vibrational dance of yin and yang. Magnetically attracted, the polar opposites of male and female balance each other to create perfect harmony. Capturing the dance of uninhibited sensuality and joyful exuberance, Richard MacDonald offers “The Ritual, Female Dancer” as a reminder to celebrate the moment by relaxing and allowing the life force to dance through us.

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.
