Bobby Leash is an artist based in Thailand whose paintings have been exhibited nationally, as well as in the United States and the United Kingdom. Originally inspired by Japanese manga and anime and pop surrealism, Leash's compositions depict humanity existing in a harsh and unforgiving world, as a byproduct of "unchecked inequality and extremism". While his pieces may translate this negativity, he believes that it is necessary in order to rationalize and accept it as a part of life.
