This summer, Nice adorns itself with vibrant colors and daring geometric shapes.
From June to late October (extended beyond September 2023), contemporary artist Richard Orlinski, known for his spectacular pop-art works, invades the city streets with his life-sized bestiary.
In collaboration with the City of Nice, ten of the artist’s works are installed in symbolic locations throughout Nice for an open-air exhibition, accessible to everyone, day and night.
Here is a map of the locations where you can discover Richard Orlinski’s artworks in Nice:

After establishing his foundry workshops, opening his first Concept Store, and now this monumental open-air exhibition, the visual artist is strengthening his ties with the City of Nice, which he has always held a special affection for since his childhood.
The monumental sculptures by Orlinski, including the famous Kong, Standing Bear, T-Rex, and Crocodile, transform the city into an open-air museum. These artworks, visible in all lights, offer a striking artistic panorama to passersby, inviting them to embark on a unique artistic journey through the streets of Nice.
