Andrei Molodkin's artistic practice is a leading example of Political Minimalism. He is distinctive for his formal approach to material, almost exclusively working in human blood, crude oil, steel and biro. Molodkin's projects have been censored throughout his career, from the Venice Biennale in 2009 where he represented his country in the Russian Pavilion – to 2021 when 'Whitehouse Filled with the Blood of US Citizens' was deemed too dangerous to show and was pulled from its intended location due to political tensions in the lead up to the Insurrection in Washington D.C. Recently, he has made international headlines with 'Putin Filled with Ukrainian Blood', a globally exhibited work produced in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The work was smuggled into Moscow and live-streamed on Red Square during the Victory Day parade. To coincide with the World Cup in Qatar, Molodkin presented a sculpture of the World Cup trophy filled with Qatari oil. It had a symbolic price of $150m to match the amount of money allegedly spent on bribes and kickbacks to FIFA officials. Last year, he publically sold blood-soaked copies of Prince Harry's Memoir, and projected a sculpture filled with the blood of Afghans onto St Paul's Cathedral to comment on Harry's remarks in Spare about his number of kills in Afghanistan. Molodkin has exhibited world-wide. His large-scale installations are in distinguished museum collections with ‘Liquid Modernity’, 2009 entering the Tate Collection, UK in 2012. His artwork 'Dead Man's Switch' 2024 has achieved global resonance with more than 300 publications worldwide.
