About the Item
Richard Orlinski – "Hippopotamus" (Matt Black)
Medium: Resin
Dimensions: 41 x 55 x 23 cm
Color: Matt Black
Condition: Excellent
A Sculpture of Strength, Duality, and Energy
Richard Orlinski’s "Hippopotamus" captures the fascinating contrast between power and gentleness that defines this formidable animal. Known for its massive presence and territorial nature, the hippopotamus is often perceived as both majestic and intimidating—qualities that Orlinski expertly translates into this geometric, faceted form.
The sculpture features the animal in a dynamic stance, mouth wide open, evoking the ritualistic "yawn" that hippos display as a show of dominance. This expression of defiance and alertness gives the artwork a sense of movement and vitality, making it an eye-catching statement piece.
What Makes This Artwork Unique?
Symbolic and Expressive – The wide-open jaws and robust posture convey both aggression and serenity, reflecting the hippo’s dual nature.
Faceted Geometric Design – Orlinski’s signature angular style plays with light and shadow, emphasizing the animal’s muscular form while giving it a contemporary edge.
Striking Matt Black Finish – The smooth yet sculpted surface enhances the depth and presence of the piece, making it suitable for a variety of spaces and environments.
Perfectly Sized for Versatile Display – With a length of 55 cm, this artwork is ideal for a sculptural centerpiece in modern interiors, offices, or galleries.
A Balance of Strength and Artistry
The hippopotamus has been revered for centuries, from African folklore to modern conservation efforts. Orlinski reinterprets this powerful animal with a bold artistic vision, offering a sculpture that is at once expressive, modern, and timeless.
For collectors and art enthusiasts looking for a piece that embodies both nature’s intensity and sculptural elegance, "Hippopotamus" is an exceptional choice. For details on availability and acquisition, please reach out for further information.

Richard Orlinski
Richard Orlinski is a French artist born in Paris (France) in 1966. Since 2004, his work has been conceived around the "Born Wild" concept, using styles and contemporary materials that resonate with larger audiences. As a result, his creations act to challenge our archaisms. His works are exhibited at both FIAC on the slopes of Courchevel and in 90 galleries worldwide. Since 2011, Art Price has ranked Orlinski as one of the Top 10 best-selling French artists worldwide. Orlinski seeks through the concept of "Born Wild" to transform negative emotions into positive vital impulses, shifting from ancient instincts to civilized ones. The vectors of this transformation are shown in his works' aesthetics- the pursuit of perfection as a sculptor and the viewer's perception. Engaged in making art accessible to all, Richard Orlinski draws on recognizable imagery that serves his purpose.
