Pixiu Sculpture on Marble

The Pixiu Sculpture on Marble commands a room through pure mythic presence — its silhouette compact yet charged, the kind of object that anchors a console or library shelf with an authority that reads across scale. John Richard renders the ancient guardian form with studied restraint, allowing the proportion of the figure against its base to do the quiet, compositional work of something far larger. It is a piece that rewards proximity, its detail revealing itself gradually rather than announcing itself at once.
