After a nice discussion with the famous chef Guy Savoy, Bernard Montiel could not have started the year 2022 better. Saturday January 8, in his show Star animals, broadcast on the Animals TV channel, the host receives Richard Orlinski on his set.
For the occasion, the artist did not come alone. Indeed, he is accompanied by a superb dog. Finally on the look side, Richard Orlkinski remains true to himself. Faced with a chic Bernard Montiel in a suit, he appears relaxed. The charming brunette wears a black hoodie, dark gray jeans and a pair of white sneakers. What to be at ease to tell his love for the animals to the chronicler of Do not touch My TV (C8).
Animals, Richard Orlinski knows well. His own, he sells them! Indeed, the French artist, world famous, sells works of art … with the effigy of animals. Among his very pop-culture origami sculptures, the personalities are snapping up gorillas, dogs, crocodiles, lions and even panthers. “In fact, what appeals to me is that my sculptures can appeal to children first. Children are the least corrupt public there is, they are cash. I am looking for an immediate reading of the work and which provides immediate emotion. You don’t have to worry to understand a work“, he declared in 2017 to the site Actu.fr about his art. And to respond to the criticisms of the profession: “If I am not admitted into the big art world, it does not matter. If out of 100 people there are five who don’t buy into my work, that’s okay. I prefer to please the greatest number rather than working for an elite.” And Bam !
Bernard Montiel himself is a fan of his guest’s work. Last August, when he opened the doors of his superb house in Pyla-sur-Mer to our colleagues from the magazine Gala, a white crocodile signed Richard Orlinski enthroned in his garden. Even more, in the summer of 2018, during the inauguration of a gallery bearing his name in Saint-Tropez, the lover of Elisa Bachir Bey was able to count on the support of several personalities. Among them, his faithful friend Bernard Montiel was at the rendezvous. In short, between the two men, it is a friendship that lasts!
