// Richard Orlinski's Wild Kong Oil is a striking 2015 sculpture crafted in resin, depicting a powerful gorilla holding an oil barrel above its head. This work showcases Orlinski’s distinctive, faceted style, with angular surfaces that give the gorilla a modern, geometric appearance, blending primal strength with contemporary aesthetics. The black resin enhances the sculpture's imposing presence, while the oil barrel symbolizes industrialization and environmental concerns. Orlinski’s Wild Kong series often reflects themes of nature and civilization, inviting viewers to consider the balance between human progress and the natural world, underscored here by the gorilla’s stance of defiance and resilience.

What is pop-art?
Pop Art is an art movement that began in Britain in 1955 and in the late 1950s in the U.S. It challenged traditional fine arts by incorporating imagery from popular culture, such as news, advertising, and comic books. Pop Art often isolates and recontextualizes materials, combining them with unrelated elements. The movement is more about the attitudes and ideas that inspired it than the specific art itself. Pop Art is seen as a reaction against the dominant ideas of Abstract Expressionism, bringing everyday consumer culture into the realm of fine art.
