Richard Orlinski is a French artist born in 1966 in Paris. A sculptor since 2004, he has surrounded himself with a team of highly qualified technicians in order to conceive his exceptional pieces. His works are designed around the concept ‘Born Wild’. They demonstrate a timelessness and originality without ever being extravagant. In 2010, he was ranked as the second highest selling contemporary French artist by Art Price.
Richard Orlinski sculpts to enhance reality and create spirited, beautiful and eternal masterpieces which incite emotion in the eyes of the viewer. Deeply rooted in his time, this artist uses contemporary materials such as resin and aluminium, as well as marble, stone and bronze.
Through the ‘Born Wild’ concept, Richard Orlinski uncovers works which illustrate the passing of negative urges towards positive emotions. His animal creations are inspired from popular imagination, fashion and film icons or the wild. His search for the perfection of forms, the metamorphosis of the aesthetic and an art which is accessible to everyone have rendered him a modern sculptor who is both popular and pioneering
Both Richard Orlinksi and the House of Daum share a contemporary vision and work around the concept of durability. In a contemporary, realistic and unchangeable style, the two entities come together to create a vision of art that is both durable and up to date. Born from this collaboration are frightening and mythical creatures, which appeal to our imagination and our common culture. The ferocity of these predators is immortalised in the pate de cristal by the House of Daum.
Like the works of Richard Orlinski, the House of Daum produces limited edition pieces, which echo the ‘Born Wild’ concept of the artist by taking his icons inspired by wildlife and cinema with the panther, the crocodile and the Wild Kong. These animal icons are available in three colours – blue, black and white. Each piece is a limited edition series, with 99 copies available of each.
This collaboration between Richard Orlinksi and Daum has given rise to the creation of majestic pate de cristal sculptures.
Since 1878, Daum has created world renown art pieces out of their crystal studio in Nancy, France. Every crystal piece by Daum is signed with "Daum France" to signify its origin and quality. Pâte de cristal is a Daum speciality; a precious material that gives their creations a sculptural depth and dimension, which has been refined unceasingly over time. Pâte de cristal has the quality of giving translucency to the forms it reproduces and the brilliance of this material, the intensity of colors and the myriad subtile shades all contribute to Daum’s unique methods.
