Andrei Molodkin was born in Boui, 500 km north of Moscow, in 1966.
His work explores the conflict between culture, religion, economy and politics, using recognizable religious images and cultural iconography as his subject matter. Molodkin believes that the oil industry is “the flesh and blood of Western economy”. He is known for his drawings made using a biro and for his installations with crude-oil sculptures.
