Basse Buller

The Painting Troll

Basse Buller spreads his message in mud paint, using every available surface. He is a wild child at heart, but when he starts painting, he finds his calm. He loves to express himself through symbols and shapes inspired by the nature he lives in and he makes his marks with stones, leaves, sticks, or anything that he can find. An explorer and rebel, he understands “no” as “maybe” and sees that boundaries are there to be pushed with signs, words and often a beat to make the message even clearer. You are not in doubt when this troll is around. He is funny, loud, and gets his muddy paint everywhere in an effort to lead the humans onto the right path.
