John Busuttil Leaver (born John Robert Busuttil; 1964) is a Maltese visual artist and painter. He has worked in graphic book design and written about contemporary art.[1] He is philosophical about his work and sees what he does as non-commercial: a statement about the contemporary. He is known for his solo show 'A Diary of Obsessions', (2008, Saint James Cavalier Centre for Creativity, Valletta) for work which commented against over-development. Busuttil Leaver studied at the Malta Government School of art under Harry Alden[2], and later at The Art and Design Centre, Valletta. He began working as a graphic designer but continued to paint and participate in many collectives.[3][4][5] The National Museum of Fine Arts[6], gave him a one-man showing in 1997. The Museum made an acquisition of his work later in 1999.[7] Other one-man shows followed in various galleries and art venues.[3]. In 2014 he exhibited work in London. A number of art critics and curators have covered his work including Nicholas de Piro,[8] Michael J. Schiavone[9], Emanuel Fiorentino,[10] Dominic Cutajar,[11] Dennis Vella,[12] Adrian Stivala[13] Raphael Vella[14] and Dr Louis Lagana[15] [16] The Times of Malta published various articles.[17] [18][19]. He won a number of art competitions[20] and was featured in radio[21] and TV programmes[22] most noteworthy of which was a Canadian TV Cultural programme, 'TV Frames'[23], during their feature on Malta.
