Long fascinated by the brilliant spectacle of Cirque du Soleil, Richard MacDonald has brought sculptures to life that have the intrigue, allure and beauty that has made Cirque du Soleil an international phenomenon. He is the first and only sculptor given behind-the-scenes access to Cirque du Soleil, allowing him to capture the beauty, athleticism and spirit of the performers. In working directly from the performers from “O”, Richard MacDonald has found inspiration for a series of unique works. “Bullwhip” reveals the strength and individuality essential to the formation of celebrated performer Stephan Reynolds in his character role as “Le Travesti.”
