Bortusk Leer

“I think art should create an emotion of some sort and the reaction I try to create is a smile. Obviously this doesn’t work on everyone because some people are just miserable twats.

The inspiration for my work is fun stuff from childhood; funfairs, carnivals, Kids TV – that sort of thing. There’s no concept behind it other than I’m trying to brighten up someone’s day. I’m just trying to cheer people up really.”
