Artist Andrei Molodkin has produced a portrait of Vladimir Putin filled with blood as a protest against the invasion of Ukraine. The new sculpture has been made in collaboration with his Ukrainian friends and co-workers, based with him at The Foundry in Maubourguet, France, who symbolically donated their blood before returning to their home country to fight. Since then, Molodkin has opened his doors at The Foundry to their wives and children fleeing the war. A twenty metre-high projection of ‘Putin Filled with Ukrainian Blood’ was projected on different buildings in the centre of Ljubljana.
