iHeart

We are in love with this local Vancouver street artist’s work so much that we couldn’t help but slot him into our Of The Month for Issue 90, even though we heard about him a while ago. iHeart, helped along a little by a small viral push by Banksy (the irony is certainly not lost considering his concentration on social media), has been leaving his inkings and etchings all over the city of Vancouver for quite some time and is finally getting the recognition he deserves. With every day inspiration as a basis to spark discussion, as well as a use of indistinguishable stencils, this guy values his secrecy, like a lot of artists in the same field. Anonymity means focus is on the meaning rather than the person. Find iHeart’s art on the streets of Vancouver and Calgary, and get your hands on a limited edition print or canvas at iheartthestreetart.com.
