Street artist Unify creates walls filled with hearts and other happy subjects with the objective to spread love and happiness. I first noticed the artist's work back around 2014 or 2015 when I worked on Brick Lane and spent my lunch breaks walking the streets to find new street art. The artwork was always stencil-based and featured a subject (a bear, a child, or something similar) holding a sign or a balloon. Rivington Street was a popular spot for the artist in the early days. I've captured some of the more recent work by the artist below, and the style keeps evolving.
One favourite pieces by the artist was painted just before Valentine's Day in 2021, and it shows a knight surrounded by hearts "chivalry is not dead". This is one of the most recent works that I have discovered.
Below are additional works I have discovered around east London - a chimp with "I love you", children holding windmills, hearts, and stuffed bears.
