Anish Kapoor, Greenpeace Stage Blood-Red Climate Protest On Shell’s Offshore Rig

by rrollins, August 16, 2025

British artist Anish Kapoor teamed up with Greenpeace to stage a dramatic climate protest on Shell’s offshore gas platform in the North Sea. The installation, titled BUTCHERED, featured a massive 12-by-8-meter canvas drenched in 1,000 litres of blood-red liquid, symbolizing environmental destruction and fossil fuel violence. Activists scaled the Skiff platform, located 45 nautical miles off Norfolk, to unveil the artwork and demand an end to new oil and gas projects. Kapoor called the piece a “visual scream,” amplifying Greenpeace’s call for urgent climate action and spotlighting Shell’s role in accelerating the climate crisis.
