Serigraph
A serigraph is a form of artistic reproduction that has gained broad acceptance through the Modernist movement of the 20th century, continuing today. An artist carefully assesses the colors to be screen-printed in painstaking layers to create an accurate and vibrant recreation of an original painting or drawing. It is an artform to translate one medium to another, and Richard MacDonald has mastered the art of bringing the highest quality to serigraphs based on his works. This effort speaks to his desire to create accessible artwork, in the manner pioneered by artists like Picasso.d the campfires millenniums ago still resonate with truth and emotion we recognize today. MacDonald has let his own artistry flourish to create a diverse body of works from ancient stories revealed through modern truths which speak the test of time and have an ongoing hold on our imagination that is without substantiation.

The Artist's Touch
Richard MacDonald’s method of working by directly observing a living model is becoming increasingly rare amongst artists of our time. Developing the sensitivity and facility to watch a person in motion and capture anatomy, movement, mood, and personality in clay is an extraordinarily complex and demanding task, yet the quality of the work speaks to the vitality, energy, and power made possible by this experience.
