Milan is preparing to welcome one of the most recognizable and spectacular contemporary artists on the international scene: Richard Orlinski, with the exhibition-event “The Wild Kong Invasion”, hosted at Deodato Arte Milano (Via Nerino 1) from May 7 to May 23, 2026.
An exhibition that promises to transform the gallery into a truly immersive environment, where the iconic Wild Kong becomes the absolute protagonist of an artistic invasion with a strong visual impact.
The World of Richard Orlinski
A French artist born in Paris in 1966, Orlinski is among the most prominent names in contemporary neo-pop art. His works, recognizable for their faceted surfaces and vibrant colors, reinterpret nature and animals as powerful, modern icons.
The “Born Wild” series, from which the famous Kong also originates, has become over the years a symbol of his artistic research: a fusion of pop aesthetics, urban culture, and a global collective imagination.
The Wild Kong Invasion: An Immersive Experience
With “The Wild Kong Invasion”, Orlinski brings to Milan one of his most iconic figures: the giant gorilla, both aggressive and pop at the same time, embodying energy, freedom, and primal instinct.
The exhibition design goes beyond a traditional show, becoming a true immersive experience conceived to engage the audience in a direct dialogue with the sculptures. Wild Kong thus becomes an “invader” of the exhibition space, transforming the gallery into a dynamic and surprising environment.
Deodato Arte and Richard Orlinski
The exhibition confirms Deodato Arte’s role as a leading reference point in Italy for street art and contemporary pop art, while highlighting the work of international artists represented by the gallery.
Among them, Richard Orlinski holds a central position: his presence in Deodato’s roster reflects a well-established path and a shared vision of art as a direct, accessible, and highly iconic language.
Milan, Capital of Contemporary Art
The event takes place at a particularly vibrant moment for Milan’s art scene, which is increasingly becoming a European hub for installations, immersive exhibitions, and projects that merge art, design, and pop culture.
“The Wild Kong Invasion” perfectly represents this evolution: an art form that goes beyond observation, engaging the viewer in a direct and sensory experience.
