Bloody art is the preferred creative approach of Russian artist Andrei Molodkin. The individual has received recognition as a Supreme collaborator and for his rather unconventionally daring contributions to the field.
His new exhibition 'Black Horizon' is currently showcased at the BPS22 gallery in Charleroi, Belgium. The event spotlights Molodkin's bloody art with large-scale signs that read 'THE WALLS TURN RED,' 'BURN THE TEMPLE' and 'FUCK THE JUDGE.' The intensity of the message is evident and only amplified through the form it is displayed in. The signs are filled with real human blood which adds an anxiety-inducing sinister element.
What's more, Belgium has strict laws about blood donation and in order to display his bloody art, Andrei Molodkin and his gallery had to jump over some hurdles.
