The London Police: Pioneers of a Movement

Comprised of Chaz Barrisson and Bob Gibson, The London Police are celebrated for their role in pioneering the street art movement in the early 2000s. Known for their instantly recognizable “LADS” characters and intricate architectural illustrations, the duo's unique blend of whimsical narrative and meticulous craftsmanship has captivated audiences worldwide. From Amsterdam to Hong Kong, their murals and exhibitions have left a lasting impression across 40 countries.

In Escape to L.A., The London Police turn their creative lens inward, conjuring a fantastical world where Chaz’s beloved LADS characters thrive against backdrops inspired by Bob’s take on Los Angeles’ dynamic landscape. Their new collection invites visitors to step into a realm of "abstract happiness and discerning comfort," offering a momentary retreat from life’s chaos.
