Richard Orlinski (born 1966 in Paris)[3] is a French sculptor and visual neo-pop artist.[4]
Early life and education
Richard Orlinski was born on January 6, 1966, in Paris, France. After earning a bachelor’s degree in economics from the University of Paris – Sorbonne in 1990, he pursued a traditional career in real estate until a personal burnout in 2004 prompted him to devote himself full-time to art.[5]
Artistic career
Orlinski’s first public sculpture was unveiled in 2004: a red resin crocodile that prefigured his signature “Born Wild” series of faceted animal forms. “Born Wild” sculptures — animals such as lions and gorillas — combine pop-art sensibility with cubist geometry and have appeared in over 200 galleries and public installations worldwide.[6]
TV and Film
In 2021 Orlinski started hosting TV5Monde’s street-art documentary series Sur Les Murs, meeting French-speaking street artists around the world.[7][8]
