Untamed Bust

A sculptural presence of uncommon authority, the Untamed Bust from John Richard commands its setting through the interplay of resin, glass, and crystal — materials that oscillate between opacity and luminosity depending on the quality of light. At seventeen inches, the figure carries genuine architectural weight, its silhouette bold enough to anchor a console or punctuate a curated shelf composition. There is something deliberately unresolved in its character, a tension between the classical tradition of the portrait bust and a more restless, contemporary energy that gives the piece its name.
