The London Police
The London Police started in 1998 when big english geezers headed to Amsterdam to help rejuvenate the visually disappointing streets of Hollands capital. They were part of a small group of artists at the end of the last century that helped pioneer a new street art movement.
After a few years of mixing traveling and making art in the street TLP began to receive Worldwide recognition for their contribution to the graffiti/street art movement. They were included in many of the books documenting the scene and invited for shows and live drawing performances all over the globe.
18 years on TLP have amassed more than 100 shows and events in over 35 countries and their street work continues to pop up everywhere they go.
Since 2009 TLP has concentrated on more intense canvas work, on bigger solo shows and large scale mural projects.
TLP are Chaz Barrisson who draws the iconic ‘LADS’ characters and Bob Gibson whose tight portrait and architectural illustrations help marry the two styles to create an endearing, exciting fantasy world.
The current duo have managed to form a partnership more cohesive than Han Solo and Chewbacca in Star Wars and are continuing to produce slick artwork that is tighter than a butlers cuff.
Never be scared, don’t be a hero and let the good times roll!!

ChicaDania
ChicaDania is a multi disciplined contemporary artist. Most of her artistic life has been dedicated to sculpture. However, having married to the Spanish urban artist Pez, she got to know the street art world from the inside. In 2017 she was invited to the first edition of the Distrito Graffiti Festival, then called Mural City in Bogotá. For the first time she launched herself to paint in large format. After many years, the time had come to explore this new language. That is how ChicaDania came to muralism to paint portraits of her children, Ían and Marc. Thinking of giving a more original and personal meaning to her murals, she decided to make up her children and then portray them. Her most recent work is on the “World of Women” , she is working with other women artists from different fields to create new atmospheres of the feminine universe. She always paints her friends with the purpose to open a dialogue between women and art.

Daniel Popper
Aeonium, exemplifies how nature’s forms can inspire monumental artistry. The sculpture reimagines the spiral, rosette-like arrangement of Aeonium leaves into large, thick forms that radiate strength and serenity. These waxy, layered shapes, with their shades of green, purple, and earthy hues, are not just aesthetic choices; they embody the resilience and balance inherent in the natural world.
For Popper, form is the bridge between nature and human expression. In Aeonium, the spiraling structure becomes a metaphor for growth, continuity, and connection. The tactile, organic design invites viewers to engage with its physicality, encouraging reflection on how form influences perception and emotion.
But the process doesn’t end with physical construction. The addition of projection mapping transforms Aeonium into a living, evolving entity. This interplay of light and movement mirrors the ever-changing nature of inspiration itself: fluid, dynamic, and boundless. The shifting visuals breathe life into the sculpture, creating a dialogue between static form and transient light.
Through Aeonium, Daniel Popper explores how the forms found in succulents can act as blueprints for larger creative visions. It’s a celebration of nature’s ability to inspire – a reminder that even the smallest details in the natural world can hold the key to monumental ideas. By weaving together resilience, form, and artistic transformation, Popper crafts not just a sculpture but an ongoing conversation about the beauty and power of nature as a medium for creative thought.

Dasic
Dasic Fernández is a visual composer: His work is a symphony of color, a poetic motion of effervescent
strokes towards the infinite through each gravity defying drip. This iconic style that gained him renown is a
portal through the human experience to the divine; a capture of time, space, magnificent luminosity and the
cosmic proportions of all subjects he paints.
Dasic’s career began as a graffiti writer tagging the streets of Rancagua, Chile in the late ‘90s. Born to a
family of the political Left towards the end of a 30 year dictatorship, his roots are well watered by resistance
culture, an element expressed throughout his work. Embracing street arts’ essential quality of connecting
directly with the public, Dasic’s activations reimagine mundane streetscapes into compassionate, creative,
conversant places. His obsessive consideration of how each public piece interacts with its environment pays
homage to his years spent at the University of Chile’s School of Architecture.
Deeply motivated by Love and the modern folklore of Hip Hop culture, in 2008 he embarked upon a
transformative journey to paint murals throughout Latin America. In 2009, his travels inspired his first solo
exposition, Fotograffiti, at Santiago’s Central Library and his role as creative director for Muro Por La Paz,
then the world’s longest graffiti. This catapulted Dasic’s work into the international arena and led him to move
to NYC. There, he became well known for his creative collaboration in support of social movements from the
South Bronx to Southwest Detroit, including the Newburgh Mural Project (2012), an economic revitalization
initiative through strategically located murals in New York’s Hudson Valley.
In 2017, Dasic co-founded Estudio Victoria in Santiago, Chile, the creative studio that designed and
constructed the Nelson Mandela Memorial and converted Paseo Bandera – a 1-kilometer stretch of street –
into a colorful, permanent pedestrian promenade in downtown Santiago. Paramount to Paseo Bandera are
the Artist’s signature 3D paintings that extend from flat surfaces into interactive, often utilitarian, sculptures of
immersive play and beauty. Bandera wove an indelible stitch in the complex tapestry of the city’s art +
architecture through its innovative partnership across cultural, civic, and commercial sectors. Its success
solidified Dasic’s global reputation not only as a gifted Muralist/ Painter, but also as an expert shape shifter of
tactical urbanism and city planning.
Dasic has commissioned municipal and private projects all over the world, notably a 9,200 square foot mural
affectionately referencing the ecstatic joy of fatherhood in Santago’s Plaza de Bolsillo (2016); a 430,000
square foot floor painting developed for Diriyah Season Festival in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (2019); the Miami
Dolphins football stadium and Citigroup Center building for the 2016 and 2020 Super Bowls, respectively; a
4,800 square foot asphalt mural on the historic Doyers Street in Chinatown, Manhattan (2021); the
Aprobamos Dignidad campaign’s animated short in support of Chile’s historic constitutional re-write for which
he was awarded the Napolitan Victory Spot of the Year (2021); and most recently, a vibrant 7,000 square foot
piece in Santiago’s financial district (2022).
Dasic’s creative process relies on an instinctual connection to natural patterns, organic shapes, and
universality. A true site-specific artist, each of his pieces takes dynamic life and meaning only as he paints it.
Once completed, interacting with his large-scale work is a catalytic experience in which you can feel the
harmony and vibration of every color on a molecular level. His murals unapologetically agitate, transcend,
and heal.
Parallel to his public works, Dasic Fernández maintains an active fine-arts studio through which he has
participated in numerous group expositions. Parts of his canvas and print collections can be viewed and
purchased from GGA Gallery in Miami, Florida.

Rage Johnson
RAGE JOHNSON was born in Miami, FL, and raised in the heart of its art and music scene in the ’80s. As a youth, he was heavily influenced by not only the style and culture of his hometown but also by the early cultures of hip-hop, skate, punk, and hardcore.
Early on, RAGE JOHNSON set out to make his mark and create artistic chaos. In his pre-adolescent years, he learned the rudiments of classic graffiti with an emphasis on different styles of calligraphy, which exploded across New York City in the late ’70s and early ’80s. As a young writer, RAGE JOHNSON garnered plenty of media attention for his nocturnal escapades, during which he used everything from the walls of abandoned buildings to the sides of old freight trains as his canvas. As a result, an anti-graffiti task force was formed under the name R.A.G.E (Residents Against Graffiti Everywhere). He was the first poster boy of graffiti in South Florida and, by many, is considered one of the most prolific graffiti artists of his generation.
In the next few years, RAGE JOHNSON continued to focus his energy on his passion for art and, along with a handful of other well-known street artists from Miami and NYC, formed the Inkheads—a collective art group. Today, the world-renowned Inkheads are known as much for their raw talent and experimental style as they are for their longevity in the art scene and their fierce dedication to the art of graffiti.
Having firmly established his reputation as an innovative artist, RAGE JOHNSON started a new company, “Murals & Such,” as one of the first artists to help raise and enhance property value for investors and corporate America. He provides business owners with services ranging from graphic design to large-scale graffiti street art, which can be seen today on walls in Wynwood and NYC.
Today, RAGE JOHNSON resides in Miami, Florida, where he continues to navigate the art and music subcultures for continuous growth and has showcased his own art pieces at local galleries and walls. Rage continues to tap into the energies and innovations of his youth while evolving and leaving his mark as an individual and an artist.
