About the Item
Drawn from the performances of Stephan Choinier and his partner, Kristi Phillips,
“Zumanity - Modern Dance V, Icarus Moon” takes the awe-inspiring moves of Cirque du Soleil’s “Zumanity” as a point of departure, and presents us with a whole new concept in contemporary figurative sculpture. Each figure has the anatomical integrity only Richard MacDonald can describe, modeled from the clay with deftness of touch, immediacy, and excitement. In this work we see the male and female performers taking non-traditional positions that stimulate the imagination; the dynamic nature of their interdependence speaks to the changing nature of modern relationships. Richard MacDonald has taken his interest in Cirque du Soleil to a new level, and produced works rich with meaning and striking in their originality and beauty.
In 2014 and 2015, Richard MacDonald focused intently on the minerals and pigments of his patina process - specifically on the color red. Shortly thereafter, the artist revealed his discoveries in a new exhibition entitled “Richard MacDonald: Red.” The exhibition, which highlights MacDonald's creative immersion into the hue, the emotion, and narrative of color, represents a profound new direction in the artist's work.

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.
