Richard MacDonald’s recent work Spirit is another reminder of the artist’s broad range, and underscores the principle that whether he is responding to the highly refined movements and physique of a classically trained ballerina, or the bulk and strength of a powerful athlete, what makes his sculpture unique is his ability to feel the form and movement he witnesses. The solidity of these figures recalls the work of Rodin – massive, hewn from clay, earthy – a marvelous counterpoint to the works that defy gravity and explore different aspects of human expression, this is Richard MacDonald’s primal example of masculine energy. There is power in “pattern”, and the four figures gain from a sense of rhythm we feel, as they face the four points of the compass.
