After devoting more than twenty years to the perfection of the human form in bronze, Richard MacDonald focused on a series of sculptures based on his work with dancers from the Royal Ballet. The studies were designed to be the groundwork for the creation of a monumental Grand Coda. Great male dancers, like Sergei Polunin, leap in such a way that they create the illusion of hanging suspended in the air for a few breathless seconds. In Dancer en L'air, we see this dramatic moment of suspension. The blurring of the figure in motion heightens the sense of the movement.
