INTERVIEW RICHARD ORLINSKI
AN BEASTLY COLLECTION The common thread in Richard Orlinski’s artwork, his concept ‘Born Wild’ invites the animal in us to ask inquire about the "paradoxical essence of savage beasts, which are ferocious, powerful and dominant but are symbols of freedom, intelligence (...)". Often predators (shark, wolf, tiger etc.), but sometimes herbivores (hippo, elephant, bull etc.), for Richard Orlinski, what they have in common is that they present themselves as conquerors, wearing their fractal, faceted shapes, sometimes matte, sometimes lacquered and in spectacular dimensions. These are zoomorphic works complemented by a series of symbolic pieces, such as superman, jeans and stilettos as a nod to pop culture and folklore.
