Matthew Del Degan believes you’ve got to put a little love in your art.
That’s why, in 2011, the artist created Lovebot, a geometric robot with a big, red heart as a symbol of the Love Invasion, a Toronto-based grassroots movement to share love and kindness. It started with 100, two-foot concrete Lovebot sculptures placed across the city and dedicated to people or groups that performed acts of kindness. Lovebot has become a Toronto icon and gone global on stickers, posters, toys and apparel.
