Pure Evil is a street artist that has been on the scene for awhile and who has been busy painting new street art from the beginning of this year. The artist has a gallery in the heart of Shoreditch. Pure Evil hails from London but lived in California for ahwile before returning back to London. His spray-painted "bunny" images can be seen in a lot of places in east London now as can his work of portraits of iconic figures. A lot of the recent street art that has been popping up since the start of last year has references to cancer. (This post is way overdue and a lot of these pieces no longer exist.)
The artist is very much involved in the world of street art and gives lectures and workshops on the subject.
This post contains several pieces of street art that the artist produced on the streets since the beginning of the year.
With all of the death and cancer messages that the artist has been adding to the streets in 2014, I assume that he had lost someone dear. On the scaffolding around the old Leonard Street car park (opposite the gallery) are several of the artist's drawings. This has evolved to contain messages throughout the months, including a "happy birthday" to his father and "Je Suis Charlie".
