Richard Orlinski has been the biggest selling contemporary French artist in the world since 2015. He began his artistic career in 2006 and created his first work, a bright red resin crocodile, which soon became an iconic piece in the sculptor's bestiary.
The artist took inspiration from pop culture, everyday objects, popular things. Richard Orlinski soon developed new sculptures, often of animals, all symbols of freedom, power and passion. The result: electrifying works of art, in pop colors and a faceted style, that would be seen all around the world.
Driven by the desire to democratise art by making it accessible to the masses, Richard Orlinski takes an interest in all means of expression and his art knows no boundaries. He was made an Officer for the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Minister of Culture Roselyne Bachelot-Narquin in 2021.
Over the years, Richard Orlinski pushed the borders of art further than any other artist of his generation and he built his legitimacy in various fields and took his notoriety to a greater level.
