KONG Origin Red Matte Edition is a reproduction of an emblematic work by Richard Orlinski.
The Kong is one of the artist's Flagship works.

Kong represents a gorilla with human characteristics, an anthropomorphic animal that Richard Orlinski has been transforming since he created it. Brandishing an oil barrel, pounding his chest with his fists, dressed as a boxer or a soccer player, endowed with the attributes of Superheroes or in the position of Rodin's Thinker. . .

Continuing the series, Richard Orlinski metamorphoses again his legendary Kong. This time, he increases his animality. Same mouth, same faceted muscular body, but instead of standing, the sculptor has substituted a wild animal attitude. Kong leans on the soles of his feet and on a folded hand. Ready to pounce, Kong raises his head and calls out to us to better dazzle us.

For the first time, the artist adopts a matte finish for his iconic red.

Richard Orlinski's monochromatic diamond-cut sculptures of wildlife and cultural icons have earned the artist international acclaim. Inspired by Pop artists Jeff Koons, Takashi Murakami, and Robert Indiana, Orlinski uses industrial materials like resin and aluminum to craft highly pigmented and polished renderings of bears, panthers, and his signature subject, King Kong. Based on his overarching artistic theme “Born Wild”, Orlinski's sculptures speak to the duality of animal and human within all of us and humanity's ability to channel its most animalistic instincts into something refined. A former architect and interior designer, Orlinski has exhibited his sculptures at galleries and venues including Art Basel, FIAC, Art Élysées, and the Palace of Versailles, as well as in outdoor spaces such as the French Alps in 2018, during which skiers could catch glimpses of his giant animals as they passed. Since 2015, Orlanski has been recognized as one of the best-selling French contemporary artists in the world.
