Bortusk Leer X Laser 3.14: I Love To See You Love

These works are a collaboration between street artists Bortusk Leer and Laser 3.14.

Bortusk is known for his warm, colorful characters often painted on newspapers and plastered all over the city. This marks the first ever collaboration between Bortusk Leer and Laser 3.14, making this a rare chance to own a piece from the debut drop of their joint works.

“Art’s not serious, being dead is. Cheer up you bastards.”
— Bortusk Leer

Since 2006 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.

Fascinated by the Cobra movement, inspired by futuristic heroes and influenced by all the children of the world. His aim is not only to create as much art as he possibly can, but also to put a smile on everyone’s face and spread some positive emotions whilst doing so.

Living as we do now in a world of division, suspicion and distress, Bortusk looks beyond this. Some say his mission is naive while others bless him for it. Leer himself does not fear naivety, he fears cynicism. Loudly and gamesomely Leer attempts to question our mental, social and political barriers. He tries to disrupt our fears and our expectations. Finally, his effervescent work challenges the inner child in us all to come out and play.

Each of these pieces is made on original newspapers, carrying the marks of their own life  small imperfections and traces of wear that make every work truly unique.

On these newspapers, Bortusk Leer painted his unmistakable, eye popping characters holding signs, while Laser 3.14 added his signature handstyle/tag in paint on the signs  transforming disposable objects of commercial culture into raw, vivid works of art.
