Aurora, Atelier captures the goddess of Dawn in a moment of pure transcendence. Modeled by world-renowned aerialist Christine Van Loo, she levitates above cascading crimson drapery, arms extended in protection and benediction. Renewal. Transcendence. The quiet strength found in rising.
Rooted in Richard's mastery of figurative realism yet alive with contemporary power, Aurora moves seamlessly between classical mythology and modern mastery. Timeless and unexpected in equal measure.
Like every Atelier work, Aurora is sculpted, cast, and hand-finished with a unique patina in Richard MacDonald’s Monterey studio and foundry using the ancient lost-wax method. Each bronze is part of a limited edition and individually numbered and signed by the artist.
Created to bring the presence and ambition of a major MacDonald work into a more intimate scale, Aurora invites us to rise, to transform, and to embrace what is possible. This is mythology you can live with.
Aurora, Atelier is avialable for pre-order with an expected 10-12 week completion time.
