Opera Galley Singapore presents: Richard MacDonald's Magicial Energies, along side with Timeless Masterpieces. 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. Opera Gallery is pleased to present the Californian sculpting extraordinaire, Richard MacDonald, for the very first time in Asia, alongside Opera Gallery’s most respected Masterworks of the 20 th Century, for a truly significant exposition.

Figurative sculpture is a language MacDonald speaks with astounding fluency, and as with any language, MacDonald’s creative drive is formed of 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. He 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 19 th 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.
