The London Police

My second year living in Amsterdam, I discovered a small art gallery called Go Gallery.  Run by 2 welcoming partner-proprietors.  Around this time, they were featuring the art of a rogue street art group called The London Police.  Intrigued by the name, I entered the gallery to check out their work.  To say I was blown away is an understatement.
The canvases were playful, yet edgy and very well done.  Seriously good lines and unmistakeable skylines of New York, London, and yes, even Amsterdam.  However, these were not simply cityskapes.  Each one had these playful almost perfectly circular smiley faced characters at the center of each painting, and I couldn't help but smile back!   All black and white pieces that depicted happy round faced creatures with landmark city backdrops.  With flawless lines and simple statements of joy and invasion all at once.  I was immediately taken with their work, and engaged myself in conversation with one of the parters to find out more.
