Greenpeace activists installed a haunting new artwork created by legendary artist, Anish Kapoor onto an active Shell platform in the remote North Sea.<\/p>\n\n

What happened?<\/h2>\n\n

The artwork, called BUTCHERED, shows 1,000 litres of blood-red liquid gushing onto a 12m x 8m canvas fastened to the gas platform, creating a vast crimson stain.<\/p>\n\n

BUTCHERED symbolises the deep wounds the fossil fuel industry has left on our planet \u2013 and the harm it continues to cause people, in its relentless pursuit of profit. Deadly heatwaves, drought and wildfires are hitting people around the world. BUTCHERED brings the destruction right back to where it starts.<\/p>\n\n

It\u2019s time for governments to step in, hold fossil fuel giants to account and make them pay for the enormous damage they\u2019re causing.<\/p>\n\n

This is the first time that a fine art piece has been installed on an active fossil fuel platform anywhere in the world. <\/p>\n\n
