Richard Macdonald Studios

One of the most collected figurative bronze sculptors at work today, Richard MacDonald has achieved this stature through a consuming passion for his work and an unrelenting dedication to its quality and integrity. A native Californian, MacDonald was educated at the prestigious Art Center College of Design and received a Bachelor of Professional Arts, Cum Laude. In the 25 years of his artistic career, MacDonald has achieved international distinction for his sculpture, paintings, and drawings, and has been the recipient of many national and international awards. He has also held numerous one-man shows and exhibitions throughout the United States, Europe and the Orient. His fascination with the human figure and human emotions has led MacDonald to focus on sculpting figures of mimes, dancers and athletes, each of which conveys a sense of joy and pays tribute to the beauty of the human form. MacDonald recently received worldwide critical acclaim for his most recent monumental work, The Flair. Created in tribute to the 1996 Olympic Games, the 24-foot, 3-ton bronze monument was donated by the artist to the city of Atlanta and state of Georgia. Millions of people witnessed the beauty and grandeur of The Flair, during a nine-city, cross-country tour which took place in June of 1996. Gracing Georgia International Plaza, The Flair stands as a testament to the determination and dedication of all individuals in the pursuit of excellence. The artist designed the surrounding plaza symbolic in design, including a 3,600 square-foot granite plaza, a large reflective pool and fountain engendering movement and essence of life and circumference seating.
