Restful Slumber Sculpture

A figure surrendered to repose, this sculpture by John Richard captures the suspended stillness of deep sleep with a compositional economy that feels both ancient and entirely current. The silhouette reads beautifully from across a room — its horizontal resolve offering a counterpoint to vertical architecture, a grounding presence on a console, credenza, or low shelf. There is an unhurried confidence to its scale, the kind of object that rewards proximity without demanding it.
