sidebar"Allegorical Art" is a term James Muir uses to describe his work, which is filled with symbology to help create a heightened social, political and spiritual awareness. "The allegorical symbolism in my sculptures bridges the centuries of history to make contemporary statements about the human condition, in order to exemplify the highest qualities of man. My work speaks of Duty, Honor, Courage, Liberty and Justice, but above all, it speaks of Truth and the ultimate triumph of the human spirit".

| "Rescue Under Fire" BRONZE SCULPTURE Edition . . 15 Size . . 23"H |
| “Rescue Under Fire” depicts a youthful soldier coming to the aid of his older comrade. It is a symbol of the “changing of the guards” while also honoring the courage of both
generations. Courage comes from the heart. In fact in Gaelic the word for courage and hope is the same.
Heroism “Man is not bound. . . ; the Purpose of Life itself. “Heroism” is standing up and producing your own Light of Understanding by casting out your fears. It is knowing and fulfilling our obligation to ourselves and our fellow man; the Purpose of Life itself.” |
In keeping with his deep spiritual convictions and social consciousness, Muir's sculptural subjects have expanded to reflect the critical nature of the times in which we live. Yet, whether historical or contemporary, "the golden thread that ties it all together is still my never-ending quest for the essence of life— for Truth in its purest form."
