This dynamic Kong sculpture by Richard Orlinski is a powerful fusion of contemporary sculpture and street art aesthetics. Captured in a dramatic, upward-thrusting pose, the gorilla appears mid-action, embodying raw strength, movement, and instinct—key elements of Orlinski’s visual language.
Entirely hand-painted and tagged, the surface is covered with bold graphic patterns, symbols, and graffiti-style motifs in vibrant reds, blues, whites, and blacks. These layered markings give the sculpture an urban energy, echoing influences from street culture, pop art, and graphic design, while contrasting sharply with the primal force of the Kong figure itself.
The glossy resin finish enhances the intensity of the colors and accentuates the sculpted planes, allowing light to animate the work from every angle. This version stands apart from Orlinski’s monochrome editions, offering a more expressive, spontaneous, and collectible interpretation of the iconic Kong.
Both visually striking and conceptually strong, this sculpture functions as a statement piece, ideal for collectors seeking a work that blends contemporary art, urban culture, and unmistakable artistic identity.
