Kong represents a gorilla with human characteristics, an anthropomorphic animal, which Richard Orlinski has been transforming since he created it. Brandishing a barrel of oil, pounding his chest with his fists, dressed like a boxer or a football player, endowed with the attributes of Superheroes or in the position of Rodin's Thinker...

Continuing the series, Richard Orlinski further transforms his legendary Kong. This time, he increases his animality. Same face, same faceted muscular body, but for the standing position, the sculptor has substituted the attitude of a wild animal. Kong supports himself on the soles of his feet and a folded hand. Ready to pounce, Kong raises his head and challenges us to better dazzle us.

For the first time, the artist adopts a matte finish for his emblematic red.

Presentation

Richard Orlinski is a French artist who was born in Paris in 1966. In 2004, he started to make sculptures and has always been surrounded by a team of highly skilled technicians. His artworks, designed with the concept "Born Wild" reflect the main values in a contemporary style, which never yields to the trash, the extravagance or the ephemeral.

In 2024, French contemporary artist Richard Orlinski made waves in the art world with his dynamic sculptures. His works were prominently featured in an exhibition at the Beverly Wilshire, A Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills, California, where sculptures were displayed inside the hotel and along the renowned Rodeo Drive. This collaboration brought Orlinski's powerful sculptures to an iconic global audience. Additionally, Orlinski revealed his special sculpture, "Le Paon," as part of a celebration for the centennial of Maison Albar Hotels. This unique piece embarked on a tour across various cities, including Porto, Nîmes, and Paris, before being auctioned to benefit a charitable cause. These events cemented Richard Orlinski's role as a leading figure in contemporary art in 2024.

Richard Orlinski's works touch a wide audience, including children fascinated by his iconic creations. Orlinski has been a guest of honor at the Art Elysées Fair, Art Paris Fair, Artiferia in Bologna and Cannes, Deauville and Cabourg Festival.

In 2010 Richard Orlinski was the second best-selling contemporary French artist's in France by Art Price and two of his artworks are among the 10 highest auctions of 2011. In 2021, Orlinksi was named an Officer for the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Minister of Culture Roselyne Bachelot-Narquin.

Richard Orlinski sculpts to sublimate reality and creates living, beautiful and timeless artworks that arouse emotion in the public's eyes. Richard Orlinski mainly uses contemporary materials such as resin and aluminum, but also marble, stone and bronze.

Richard Orlinski, through the concept "Born Wild", focuses on transforming negative vital impulses to positive emotions, to pass from primordial instinct to civilized emotion. The vectors of this metamorphosis are the aesthetics of the work, the quest of perfection and the viewer's perception. Orlinski thinks that art is accessible to everybody; he creates works of art that act on our impulses, our archaisms.
