ABOUT THE ART

DISCOVER THE FIRST STANDING LION!

By attributing the blue of the sky to his lion, Richard Orlinski associates the strength and ferocity of the feline with the softness of this color to present:

THE LION (MATT BLUE)

The Artist chose to paint his sculpture in a calming and matte blue, a transgression that transforms our perception of the king of the jungle.

While his mouth may be menacing, the beauty of the lion makes us want to tame it...

ARTIST BIO

Richard Orlinski is a French sculptor. He was born in Paris in 1966. He studied at the National Fine Arts School in Neuilly-sur-Seine, and then chose to devote to sculpture.

He now explores the medium of sculpture using industrial materials he enlivens with references of the Pop Art movement that has nourished his childhood and has never stopped improving his work. His preferred materials are resin and aluminum used according to the foundry process. His art is far from the conventions, but close to his time. Richard Orlinski is in the range of these artists who claim an actual art which, through industrial means, wants to create works asking questions about perception codes in our consuming society. Following a logical of demultiplication and repetition, he condemns the logic of the series production in the cultural industry.

From his preferred object, the croco, to more rigorous works, Richard Orlinski offers a panorama of what the Contemporary Art can present. Question the perception of the society in front of the Contemporary Art by creating works which play on different levels : a visual impact, a popular iconography, the notion of human instinct, and at the same time revisit the Art History.

So much ways to underline the question of the impact of the Contemporary Art on the public space and the perception of the publics, art collectors or uninitiated.
