Richard Orlinski: The Wild Show


From October 18 to December 14, 2025, Galleria Cavour 1959 presents a solo exhibition by Richard Orlinski, the world’s best-selling contemporary French artist. A journey through his iconic sculptures, universal symbols of vital energy and freedom, in a unique dialogue with the rationalist architecture of the gallery.

FROM OCTOBER 18 TO DECEMBER 14, 2025
GALLERIA CAVOUR 1959

Richard Orlinski: The Wild Show


The exhibition is conceived and organized by Contemporary Concept and curated by Deodato Arte.

From October 18 to December 14, 2025, the public will discover around 20 of the artist’s most famous works, internationally renowned for his monumental and multifaceted sculptural bestiary. Panthers, lions, gorillas, bears, and crocodiles become the protagonists of a journey that combines strength and fragility, instinct and beauty. Each animal has a meaning: the Lion represents pride and leadership, the Panda recalls the need to protect nature, the Gorilla Wild Kong expresses rebellion and pure energy, while the Panther embodies elegance and magnetism.

With over 9 million followers and works exhibited in more than 200 galleries around the world—from the Musée Soumaya in Mexico City to the Palais Royal in Paris—Richard Orlinski is a global artist who has expanded his research beyond sculpture, experimenting with music, design, architecture, and collaborations with international brands such as Hublot, Lancôme, Disney, and The Kooples. His mission is clear: to democratize art and bring it everywhere, from city streets to luxury boutiques.

The exhibition at Galleria Cavour 1959 also highlights a strong commitment to sustainability. Orlinski’s sculptures, which celebrate wild nature and the animal kingdom, engage in dialogue with Galleria’s visionary architecture, reinforcing its role as a space where art, fashion, and environmental responsibility coexist.

Galleria Cavour 1959 began as a visionary architectural project. Hosting Richard Orlinski’s works means continuing a tradition that combines beauty and the future, form and awareness. The presence of these strong, shiny animal sculptures, in dialogue with our architecture, reinforces the Gallery’s identity as a space where art, fashion, and sustainability intertwine naturally.

Richard Orlinski: The Wild Show is a unique opportunity to encounter the work of an artist who has transformed primordial energy into a contemporary and universal language capable of moving and challenging viewers.

Richard Orlinski is a contemporary French artist driven by the desire to democratize art and make it accessible to as many people as possible. For this reason, he has expanded his research far beyond sculpture, exploring music, television, design, and collaborations with international brands. His signature style stems from the Born Wild© project, in which the primordial energy of nature is transformed into geometric shapes and mirrored surfaces that reflect the viewer and engage them in a direct dialogue with the work. Orlinski stands out for his desire to bring creativity to unexpected spaces and languages: from ski slopes to luxury boutiques to television programs. In 2021, he was awarded the title of Officier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Ministry of Culture, a recognition that confirms his impact on the contemporary cultural scene.

💥 In occasione della Bologna Live Design lunedì 22 alle ore 18.00 inauguriamo la mostra fotografica “Elementali” firmata da Paolo Zauli, visitabile gratuitamente in @galleriacavour1959 fino al 26 settembre.

🍃 “Come fotografo, ho sempre cercato di andare oltre la superficie delle cose, unendo la tecnica fotografica a un profondo ascolto della natura”.

🔥 Un viaggio evocativo nei quattro
elementi classici – fuoco, aria, terra e acqua –
interpretati attraverso styling, make-up e posing che danno forma a esseri ancestrali, eterei, inafferrabili.

📹 Non solo fotografie,che sono il cuore di ogni narrazione, ma anche video che completano il racconto, offrendo ciò che l’immagine fissa non può.

Non vediamo l’ora di accogliervi.

classic elements—fire, air, earth and water—
interpreted through styling, makeup and poses that give shape to ancestral, ethereal and elusive beings.

📹 Not just photographs, which are the heart of every narrative, but also videos that complete the story, offering what the still image cannot.

We look forward to welcoming you.

Con profondo dolore, ci uniamo al lutto della famiglia e di tutti i suoi collaboratori per la scomparsa di Giorgio Armani, maestro assoluto dello stile e dell’eleganza italiana, che ha trasformato la moda in arte universale.

La sua visione ha cambiato per sempre il mondo della moda, lasciando un’eredità che continuerà a ispirare generazioni.

“Per me Giorgio Armani è stato un punto di riferimento unico: un uomo di straordinaria misura, capace di dare voce all’Italia più elegante e autentica. Il suo stile e la sua arte sono destinati a vivere oltre il tempo.”
Paola Pizzighini Benelli, CEO di Galleria Cavour 1959

Con gratitudine e rispetto, custodiamo la sua memoria.
