Magnom signs up French artist to design sculptures for Egypt projects

Egyptian real estate developer Magnom Properties is partnering with French contemporary artist, Richard Orlinksi, to debut a collection of his colourful animal-inspired resin sculptures at its first project in the New Administrative Capital (NAC).

Known for his electrifying sculptures of remarkable dimensions exhibited globally such as his well-known Red Gorilla ‘Wild Kong’ displayed at Cannes, the Crocodile at Miami Design District and the 5-metre bear at Courchevel, Richard followed his passion for art in 2004 and was named as the biggest selling contemporary French artist in the world in 2015.
