Artist Richard Orlinski
"The Smurfs have cradled my imagination. To revisit them today through my work is to pay homage to what they represent: joy, unity and transmission. I wanted to bring them into the present without losing any of their original magic." Richard Orlinski
Richard Orlinski is a contemporary French sculptor and artist, born January 6, 1966 in Paris. He developed a passion for art and aesthetics very early on, exploring different forms of artistic expression. Orlinski is particularly distinguished by his innovative approach to sculpture, merging the power of animality with geometric rigor. Richard Orlinski has been the best-selling French contemporary artist in the world since 2015. He began his artistic career in 2004, and created his first work, a crocodile in bright red resin, which quickly became an iconic piece of the sculptor’s bestiary. The artist takes his inspiration from pop-culture, everyday objects and the popular. Richard Orlinski quickly developed new sculptures, often animals, all symbols of freedom, power and passion. The result is a series of powerful works, with pop colors and a faceted style that will travel the world.
Many celebrities enjoy Orlinski's geometric scupltures. Justin Bieber has two huge blue Crocos sculptures at his home. Orlinski gifted a unique guitar-shaped artwork to Paul McCartney. In addition to The Smurfs, Orlinski also has collaborations with other characters from Pac-Man and Disney. Orlinski's work spans more than just his impressive statutes. He has created pink and black jackets for the Grease Musical, specialty knives with Deejo, a watch collab with Hublot, and even Bic Pens, plus many more creations.

Such an awesome artist! What I liked best is that he cared about keeping Smurfette's, Papa's and Smurf's original bodies and features, leaving both their caps and feet in a geometric style. ![[Smurfette]](graemlins/smurfette.gif) ![[Smile]](smile.gif) ![[Happy Smurf]](graemlins/Happy_Smurf.gif)
Thanks a million for sharing, Sassette!

The Papa Smurf statue makes me think of Gargamel's wooden Papa Smurf sculpture in "The Trojan Smurf".
