Sculpture Opening at Redesigned “O” Lobby

Fellow art fans; check this out! From the Vegas Eye, a blog about the happenings in Las Vegas:

    The sculptures of Richard MacDonald featuring circus and performance artists will be exhibited and available for purchase in the newly redesigned “O” Theatre lobby at the Bellagio hotel, set to open December 22nd, 2007.

    The gallery is born out of a relationship between Guy Laliberté, Founder of Cirque du Soleil, and Richard MacDonald, a master of figurative sculpture. MacDonald feels that he and Laliberté are “similar in life long creative goals.” His work focuses on the spectrum of performing life, capturing a fleeting moment in time and immortalizing the grace, strength, joy and discipline of dancers and acrobats. His work shares the creativity and imagination that fuels Cirque du Soleil and conveys MacDonald’s sense of energy and passion. “The art of Richard MacDonald reveals the infinite beauty of the human body. The characters he creates are playing forever in the theatre of life,” says Laliberté.
