Take a walk around the uber hip streets of Shoreditch and you can’t miss Hunto’s brightly coloured murals. Originally from Brindisi, Italy, Hunto moved to London’s East End and has been a major player in Shoreditch’s street art scene ever since. Brought up with graffiti and a book of Picasso, Hunto swapped his tags for characters and eventually developed an unmistakable style, full of colour, bold shapes intertwined with human connections that we all recognise and love.
