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".

| "The Sabre" BRONZE SCULPTURE Edition . . 15 Size . . 20"H |
| Man—the Universal Warrior: Whether to draw the Sabre for War, or to sheath it for Peace. F rom the conundrum of Man’s historical seeking of mental solutions to the emotional problems of self and the world, comes recognition of the imbalance in both. The Sabre, symbol of the masculine ration Mind’s keenness and strength, as well as Spiritual Truth, must be guided in its use by the ultimate Wisdom of balance with the Heart. Only then can it be truly wielded—or sheathed—for the highest good of all Mankind. |
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."
