THE LONDON POLICE
BIO
The London Police started when two English geezers moved from London to
Amsterdam in 1998 to rejuvenate the visually disappointing streets of
the drug capital of the world. Famous for their lovable & iconic 'Lads' characters which have been seen on streets all over the world. The 'TLP' members have come and gone, but now, after 10 years the two
founding members have rejoined to bring together their unique styles in
a strong collaboration. While
one artist's skill at drawing a circle 'freehand' is staggering, no
compasses, guides or masks are used. While the other, since his
departure in 2004, has developed his own imagery, an architectural
style of line drawing. In these playful fantasy cityscapes 'the lads'
are constructed and move around freely, in turn helping to build
further elements of the city. They wanted to create a place full of
interaction between their circle drawing and line drawing.
