about The London Police
Londres (Reino Unido), 1998
The London Police started out in 1998 when the two English men Chaz and Bob Gibson left the UK for Amsterdam. The London Police from there on took over the streets of Amsterdam with their iconic black and white characters. The happy faces which popped up on the streets gave the city a lot of positive vibes. In a couple of years (1998- 2003) the duo created more than a thousand characters on the streets. And their characters nowadays even gain more success, spread worldwide.
They were part of a small group of artists at the end of the last century that helped pioneer a new 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. As well as painting The London Police also enjoy making short films, photography, installations, and music.Their work has adorned buildings and galleries in more than 35 countries, like England, Holand, Singapore, Italy, Norway, Slovakia, USA, among others.
