“I LOVE ART OFF THE BEATEN TRACK”

Since 2015, Richard Orlinski has been the best-selling French contemporary artist in the world. He began his artistic career in 2004 and created his first work, a bright red resin crocodile, which very quickly became an iconic piece in the sculptor’s menagerie.
The artist draws inspiration from pop culture, everyday objects, and popular culture. Richard Orlinski quickly developed new sculptures, often of animals, all symbols of freedom, power, and passion. The result is striking works in pop colors and a faceted style that have traveled around the world.
Very quickly, exhibiting his often spectacularly large works in unusual, open-air locations became his trademark.
Driven by a desire to democratize art and make it accessible to as many people as possible, Richard Orlinski explores every medium of expression, and his art knows no boundaries. In 2021, he was named an Officer of the Order of Arts and Letters by Culture Minister Roselyne Bachelot-Narquin.
With several million followers on social media, Richard Orlinski has built a highly engaged community of art lovers and enthusiasts. An undeniable source of inspiration for the artist, who gives 100% to each of his projects. “I firmly believe in the power of art. People often don’t dare to walk into a gallery or a museum, so I make sure the museum comes to them!”

(c. 100 BC)
The famous statue of Aphrodite is a symbol of eternal beauty. We know it as the Venus de Milo, or Aphrodite of Melos, named after the Greek island where it was discovered in 1820. Aphrodite, whom the Romans later named Venus, was the goddess of love and beauty, born from the silvery foam (aphros) of the sea. The style of the Venus de Milo displays both Hellenistic and classical characteristics. Her torso is much more classical than the lower part of her body. The statue was carved from seven blocks of marble. The goddess is shown in a characteristic contrapposto pose: resting on one leg, with her hips slightly shifted, giving her body provocative curves. Today, we can scarcely imagine what the statue originally looked like: exuberant colors, adornments, and jewelry. Aphrodite probably held in her left hand the apple offered by Paris of Troy.
