Having gained international recognition for his oil-filled moulds, the artist questions the dependence on this raw material, one of the oldest in the world. According to Molodkin, this black gold, which has become central to the world's economic system and whose essential nature is underlined by the current geopolitical situation, has also transformed the relationship that contemporary societies have with culture. Firmly committed politically to the struggle against the totalitarian power of Vladimir Putin, the artist, who lives in France, has just opened in May 2022, The Foundry, near Toulouse. This conceptual art centre is dedicated to the presentation of works aimed at offering another vision of the official Russian narrative of the war in Ukraine
