New high altitude sculptures in Courchevel

Courchevel have marked themselves out from other ski resorts in recent years with their high altitude art – with sculptures decorating the mountain.

This winter, artist Richard Orlinski will be exhibiting four works of art over Courchevel’s mountain tops.

Howling success

Orlinski’s work for Courchevel is designed around the concept of of being ‘Born Wild’.  His works explore ‘the desire to conquer savagery’.

The wolf (pictured above) is 271 centimetres high and 290 centimetres in width, is already in place at the top of Les Chenus.

Also to be featured this winter will be a ‘Bear’ at the top of Saulire and more howling wolves at the top of Vizelle.

Romero Britto

The second artist to feature in Courchevel this season is the Brazilian Romero Britto.  The 51 year old artist is known for his vibrant colours and was an ambassador for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

His works are currently on display in more than 100 countries, including at JFK airport in New York, Hyde Park in London, the O2 Dome in Berlin and now in Courchevel.
