Spray paint and acrylic marker on English newspaper - Hand signed - Original - 2023 “I just want to cheer people up a bit, as there’s far too many miserable bastards out there!” (Bortusk Leer) Since bursting onto the art scene in 2007 Bortusk's work has appeared and livened up numereous streets, galleries and home walls around the world. Fed up with people being angry, disappointed, sad and disillusioned with life, Leer sees it as his duty to brighten up the world and spread some happiness. Over a decade Bortusk has developed a signature voice and style, creating manic, euphoric creatures (his monsters) plus other lively abstract pieces, videos, TV shows and numerous psychedelic assemblages of Neo-Pop-Art-Brut.
