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!!
Chica Dania
Dania Ortega nace en Paris (Francia) el 1 de junio de 1978.
De padres colombianos, vive sus primeros años en Paris para luego mudarse con su familia a Colombia. Hace su escolaridad en el Liceo Francés de Bogotá y luego realiza estudios universitarios de Artes Plásticas en La universidad Jorge Tadeo Lozano de Bogotá en donde cursa media carrera. Adoptando el lenguaje kitch de la cultura popular colombiana, Dania inicia su carrera artística con sus primeras obras de experimentación, mezclando soportes, colores y materiales . Luego viaja a Europa donde reanuda sus estudios en Artes Plásticas en la Universidad de Barcelona (UB) y adquiere su licenciatura en el año 2007. Su estilo evolucionaría a un lenguaje más personal resultado de la depuración y el florecimiento de un estilo propio. En el año 2013 hace un postgrado en Dirección de Arte en la Escuela universitaria de Diseño e Ingeniería de Barcelona, Elisava y en el año 2017, un Máster en Cultura Contemporánea en La Universitat Oberta de Catalunya, UOC.
Cuando me inicié en el arte entendí que la esencia del arte era un ejercicio espiritual, una introspección en la que esculcas dentro de ti y a través de la magia del proceso creativo, transformas información de otros planos y la materializas en Obras de Arte. Cuando fui avanzando y quise vivir del cuento vi que tenía que ponerle precio a mis obras, aquí entré en una confusión en la que estuve varios años, yo no entendía cómo el arte se podía comercializar siendo que provenía del universo espiritual y del mundo subconsciente. Exhibirlo y venderlo no tenía sentido para mí. Pasaron los años, yo haciendo mis obras sola en mi taller, creciendo en mis procesos creativos mientras observaba cómo funcionaba el mundo comercial del arte sin participar en él. Con el tiempo fui testigo de cómo la comercialización del arte generaba redes increíbles, como las obras cruzaban fronteras, cómo mis colegas artistas se expandían por el mundo . Vi mis obras y pensé.
“Me voy a morir y no le he mostrado esto a nadie!”- pensé. “No es natural que yo esté triste siendo que hago lo que más me gusta…Dios no me dio mi talento para esconderlo en mi casa”-me dije a mí misma. En ese instante decidí salir a pintar en la calle. Esta decisión cambio mi vida. El mural es lo que me permite vibrar con la ciudad, conectarme con la gente, llenar de satisfacción mi corazón. Ya no estoy sola, la ciudad me acompaña Mi tema es la paradoja de los niños enmascarados. Nada tan honesto, y transparente como la mirada de un niño mientras que las mascaras ocultan nuestra
Hace unos años tomé la decisión de comercializar mi arte. Para mí el arte proviene de un ejercicio espiritual en el que materializas información de otros planos y yo no entendía cómo se le podía poner precio a algo que viene de otras dimensiones, sin embrago entendí que yo debía experimentar este intercambio. Así que me lancé al mundo del arte, salí a la calle a mostrarle al mundo lo que hago. En este camino fui mezclando mis experiencias de vida, las influencias visuales que me llegan y mi mundo espiritual, de ahi mi trabajo. Quiero aportar amor y positivismo a través de mis obras, mis hijos son mis modelos e inspiración, yo les maquillo su carita y luego les tomo fotos para retratarlos en muros y cuadros. A través de ellos se va viendo el paso del tiempo
Chicadania es artista plástica, muralista y escultora colombiana. Su trabajo reciente radica en retratar en sus murales a sus dos hijos maquillados con mascaras. La paradoja de la pureza de la mirada de un niño y la ocultación que implica el uso de una mascara, la mascara de la personalidad que nos desvía de nuestra verdadera búsqueda en la vida. Este es el tema de los retratos de esta artista y hablar de sus hijos, de ahi que sus murales representen las diferentes edades y etapas de los niños reflejando el paso del tiempo. Por otra parte, su trabajo como escultora es más que todo en bronce aunque utiliza materiales como piedra y resina. Sus obras materializan personajes fantásticos, unos cerditos voladores que viven en un universo mágico. Así, la realidad de su vida cotidiana con sus hijos y la magia de los mundos alternos en donde viven los cerditos voladores, conviven en la obra de Chicadania.
Ha participado en ferias y festivales internacionales en países como Francia, Rusia, Mexico, Estados Unidos, España y Colombia.
Daniel Popper
With eyes closed in a mediative calm, Sentient invites a return to stillness. She is a figure sensitive in perception and feeling, a being attuned to the oneness of humans and nature. Surrounding her form, her likeness echoes; her face repeated in countless fractured parts. Such repetitions offer a metaphor for the constant noise of digital media and its fragmenting, dislocating effects on the self.
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.Fernando Chamerelli
Fernando Chamarelli is a visual artist and illustrator, with a degree in graphic design.
After experimenting with several techniques, and trying different types of art, he developed his own colorful and geometric style. An original art that has been exhibited in different parts of the globe.
Chamarelli is considered a visionary artist who’s central theme of work is to show that everything is connected.
Including other dimensions and universes, and because of this, the artist became very interested in the theories of quantum physics.
Nowadays, his work seeks reflections through Solarpunk concepts, presenting visions of a positive future for all living beings on this planet.
Creating futuristic characters and settings, mixed with the ancestral wisdom of people who once lived in harmony with nature.
This new series of paintings and digital arts that the artist is working on comes to make us even more aware of the importance of preserving the environment.
Galo
During Galo’s 10 years in Amsterdam, Galo became one of the European forerunners of street art and has collaborated and exhibited with artists of global importance. He has exhibited Europe, Japan and the United States. Galo moved back to Turin, Italy in 2007 where he currently lives and works. In 2010 he opened his private gallery Galo Art Gallery in Turin. The Galo Art Gallery is strongly linked to the international post-graffiti scene, and this is also where he makes his art an instrument of immediate communication. His subjects are the result of an accurate artistic research on the chaotic but not casual passage of people, expressions and situations of the contemporary. His materials are the most diverse, from acrylic to spray from canvas to plastic.
Galo has been seen painting nearly every surface imaginable: fat bellies and flat ones, old walls and young electricity boxes, toilets and fences, ceilings and floors, canvas, wood, bikes and cars…sometimes he gets carried away. He graduated art school and worked as a graphic designer, before turning his back on just about everything except love and paint and layer after layer and went deeper into what can all be called the Galoverse.With Galo, life is art and he spends his life sharing his art, wherever, whenever and with whomever he can. His work has shown in three continents, in galleries and museum and cafes and nightclubs, but most of all on the wall and off it…art in action, Galo paints as if his life depended on it.
Jordan Betten
Jordan Betten is an American artist whose creative career encompasses painting, sculpture and design.
Betten’s art explores the ideas of urbanism, iconography, and visual story telling. Throughout his body of work there is a feeling of freedom and strength. Through his unique application and use of colors, Betten’s paintings have a visual power that resonates from the canvas.
Inspired by urban settings, Betten infuses his love of the street with sophistication and modernism. He paints abstract urban environments associated with city dwelling. The depiction of street life is done through a combination of painted marks, oil sticks, pencils, and scraping the canvas. There are hints of figures and faces, with layers of paint obscuring and abstracting the forms. There is a raw, visceral energy to his works. The beauty, the decay, and dirt, of the city streets are reborn into a narrative of abstract mark making and colors. His works are lyrical and chaotic, infused with a darker side behind the veil.
Working primarily on large scale paintings, Betten intentionally leaves parts of the canvas untouched while multi layering other areas. This use of negative space allows for a dialogue between the parts, what he calls “a visual breath”. The painting surfaces are layered with texture, parts with drips, thick and thin washes and pieces of oil sticks still stuck into the paint rising through the surface.
Betten lives and works in his studio located in Overtown, Miami.
JEEJ
Jeej develops his creativity at a young age within the Dutch graffiti scene. The street art culture in which he grew up always contrasted with his pursuits in daily life. A connection to graffiti was therefore for a long time unknown to many in his circle.
Jeej started creating his own artworks when he saw graffiti based art selling around him that lacked authenticity. He therefore wants to show that it can be done differently. Connecting real graffiti to the contemporary art segment so it will gain a new perspective. Making it a story about fearlessness, expression and unmatched creativity.
His career has been going at a train speed since his art was quickly picked up by several “well-known” people which caused a lot of exposure. In 2021 he signed with Wall Recordings, DJ Afrojack’s record label, for guidance and artist development on an international level.
Today, the high contrast from his youth forms the foundation for his creations. The combination of raw and playful elements offers invitation to a new outlook on two experiences that at first glance contradict each other. The playful aspect is symbolized by faceless, iconic characters. This refers to the underlying principle of graffiti: Everyone knows your name, but no one has a face with it. Jeej’s art can be described as fun, bold and energetic.
All Jeej’s paintings are handmade from start to finish. Even his edition pieces with multiple runs. As a result, each work is always unique. Furthermore, within each concept he incorporates a part of graffiti culture. With this he always brings back techniques, authenticity and experience that he himself misses in graffiti based contemporary art.
Lindz and Lamb
Art possesses the extraordinary power to unite people, transcending boundaries and creating connections that extend far beyond the canvas. Lindsey and Jonathan Lamb, known as Lindz and Lamb, a dynamic duo of artistic collaborators and life partners, embark on exhilarating journeys of co-creation, constantly venturing into uncharted territories where they stumble upon delightful surprises, paving the way for their remarkable artistic evolution.

His passion for constantly improving and learning new techniques fuels his artistic journey. His art is influenced by mid-century pop art such as Roy Lichtenstein and comic book art, and manifests as murals, wheat pastes, stencils, decals, and stickers. His murals can be seen all over Miami and Florida, plus around the country and globe in places such as Mexico, Kansas City, New Orleans, and NYC.
A lifetime lover of science, Sergio’s pseudonym Registered Artist stems from his decade-long career as registered nurse.
