Further images
Formed by two exquisitely defined figures, one the archetype of male perfection, and the other “reflecting” an image of the ideal female form, these two figures mirror each other, and intensify the viewer’s experience of their upward gaze and stretching gesture. In the case of Inspiratio the light that shines on the surface of the bronze figures slips over the forms, “gilding” them, and making every muscular curve a thing of beauty. There is a sense of completeness when Richard MacDonald combines the male and female form in one work of art, a balance and harmony that goes to our core understanding of humanity.
