Bortusk Leer, by smudge on Feb 21, 2008 0:41:48 GMT 1, Smudge is no Bortusk.
I saw some of the work that is going up tomorrow. It's pretty fresh, definitely worth popping down!

Bortusk Leer, by Simococo on Feb 21, 2008 20:55:51 GMT 1, Yes. Everything was for sale. Maybe as many as 30 pieces priced between ยฃ60 and ยฃ100. Mostly collage work and a handful of paintings. I think he knew people were expecting monsters so they are yet to come.

Bortusk Leer, by headphonesex on Feb 22, 2008 2:44:57 GMT 1, This show was great! Sophie Ashton does those chains of interlocking bathing beauties that you may have seen around the place. Lovely hand-painted prints. Rather than the expected monsters, Bortusk Leer turned in a wall full of about 80 small Supine-esque collages entitled something like "something here will make you smile". Turns out that rather a lot of them made me smile. Love the monsters. Loved the collages. Life is sweet.

Christ, with the amount of work Pure Evil is turning out, it would take some special dark forces for him to create another prolific pseudonym!

Hope the show was good!

Bortusk Leer, by Sherlock Holmes on Feb 24, 2008 23:07:31 GMT 1, graffoto1.blogspot.com/2008/02/eefos-of-bortusk-viola-gallery-1a.html
"At Christmas, grotesque dayglo monsters from the feverish imagination and possibly hand of a child sprayed directly onto newsprint started appearing daily on walls and hoardings across E1, proudly signed by the artist Bortusk Leer. Anagrams ahoy! Many mainly meaningless permutations of the letters were tested but once the word Luke sprang out of the mess, a surname soon followed and the culprit was swiftly located somewhere around and occasionally in The Leonard Street Gallery. Before this riddle was solved however, a completely anonymous pasted up rosette of Santaโs elves appeared in one location in Blackaller Street exactly at Christmas, followed by further lone Santaโs babes in isolated locations across over to Brick Lane."

I find it a bit harsh to criticise people who actually produce something on a regular basis that people buy and which may subsequently open them up to criticism. I take the mick out of the pandas print but that's aimed at that particular piece of artwork not the artist and it's my opinion of that particular picture. There are other pieces I like eg Sergeant Peppers Lonely Hearts Bastards which I think is clever, so can we keep personal attacks to a minimum please.

5 posts in total and all about the man himself.
Good effort.
Is the phrase 'smudge is no bortusk leer' just a bit of reverse psychology?
