About Richard Orlinski
"I love art off the beaten path."
Since 2015, Richard Orlinski has been the world's best-selling contemporary French artist. He began his artistic career in 2004, creating his first work, a bright red crocodile made of resin, which soon became an iconic piece in the sculptor's bestiary. The artist drew inspiration from popular culture, everyday objects, and popular things. Soon, Richard Orlinski developed new sculptures, often depicting animals, all representing freedom, power and passion. The result: electrifying works of art in vibrant colours and a multifaceted style, exhibited worldwide.
Displaying his often-spectacular works in unconventional places and outdoor spaces quickly became his trademark. Driven by the desire to democratise art by making it accessible to the general public, Richard Orlinski explores all forms of expression, and his art knows no boundaries.
In 2021, French Minister of Culture Roselyne Bachelot-Narquin appointed him as an Officer of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres. With several million followers on social media, Richard Orlinski has built a highly engaged community of art lovers and enthusiasts. This strong connection undoubtedly serves as a great source of inspiration for him, as he gives 100% to every project. "I firmly believe in the transformative power of art (...) Often, people may hesitate to step into a gallery or museum, so I strive to bring the museum to them."
Collective term for all casting processes that ars mundi carries out with the help of specialised art foundries.
Stone Casting
Similar to artificial marble, with the difference that instead of marble powder, the stone to be replicated is used in powder form.
Bonded Bronze (Cold-Cast-Bronze)
Bronze powder is polymer-bonded. Through special polishing and patination techniques, the surface of the cast takes on an appearance similar to that of bronze.
Imitation Wood
In order to guarantee absolute fidelity to the original, an artificially manufactured imitation wood is used as a base material that features typical wood characteristics: density, workability, colour, and surface structure.
Ceramic Mould Casting
Ceramic mould casting usually requires the use of casting clay, which is then fired and optionally glazed. Instead of the usual rubber moulds, plaster moulds are often used in ceramic casting and porcelain production.
Cast Bronze (Lost-Wax-Casting)
For the cast bronze, the thousand-year-old lost-wax technique is used. It's the best, but also the most complex method of producing sculptures.
A plastic work of sculptural art made of wood, stone, ivory, bronze or other metals.
While sculptures made of wood, ivory, or stone are carved directly from the material block, in bronze casting, a working model is prepared at first. Usually, it is made of clay or other easily mouldable materials.
The prime time of sculpture after the Greek and Roman antiquity was the Renaissance. Impressionism gave a new impulse to the sculptural arts. Contemporary artists such as Jorg Immendorf, Andora, and Markus Lupertz also enriched sculptures with outstanding works.
