Very Nearly Almost magazine caught up the The London Police in Amsterdam, when the VNA team went over to interview the duo. This is only crème de la crème of the full chat which can be found in issue 17 of VNA magazine which is available online via the VNA shop here.
Issue 17 also sees VNA chat to the always amusing Goldie about cooking ‘cliffy chicken’, music and his art, alongside Shoreditch shutter bomber Malarky and Mexican miniature maestro, Pablo Delgado. On the international tip, they caught up with Ukraine’s own mural-masters Interesni Kazki, Dutch tattooist Angelique Houtkamp and from the USA, graffer Else ICR and photo-real maestro El Mac.

Luzinterruptus - Deciduous Lampposts Intervention
Spanish artist's Luzinterruptus sent us an email with images of their latest intervention in Madrid “Deciduous Lampposts”, which is their personal tribute to the autumn that has gone by.
"We love this season, which fills the streets with dry leaves covering the cold asphalt in wonderful orange tones.
But there are streets in Madrid to which, unfortunately, autumn never arrives, they are deprived, with only perrenial leaves, which makes strolling in them like entering into an area with no climatic or seasonal references. In these harsh gray streets we wanted to carry out our installation Deciduous Lampposts."

Graffiti Boat "La Preciosa" in Colombia
Vertigo Graffiti is an artistic crew that has brought together eight of the best Colombian graffiti artists and the famous Spaniard street artist El PEZ. Recently, 5 of them (Gris, Cazdos, Skida, Ecksuno and El Pez) painted on a 34 ft fishing boat transforming it into an impressive 100% graffiti piece of art. The boat's name is 'La Preciosa' ('The Precious' in English).
This creation was executed in Taganga, a beautiful and colorful small village in the Caribbean Coast in Colombia. After three days of exhaustive work in 40 degrees weather, the finished boat returned to the sea and can now be found traveling between Santa Marta and Aruba.
GUY DENNING AND FRANK RANNOU - 'WE ARE ALL PROSTITUTES'
Signal Gallery kick off 2012 with their first show of the new year featuring the work of Guy Denning and Frank Rannou. Guy Denning and Frank Rannou are two painters who met in France sometime ago and instantly fell in love with each other's work. Both are fluent and individual figurative painters, with a distinct penchant for the atmospheric portrait.
It was Guy's great wish to introduce Frank's work to UK audiences. Already well established in his native land, with shows in Paris and across France, Rannou had also received much media attention when he was to commissioned to paint the French Rugby Team in 2007, followed by the Football team in 2010.
A well-known figure in the UK art scene now, Guy Denning has shown across the Europe and the US. Recent solo shows in New York and Italy featured the first two parts of a trilogy of shows he has been planning for some time, based on Dante's Inferno. The third part of the trilogy 'Paradiso' will be shown at Signal in the autumn this year. Guy's intense and powerful style has a universal appeal, due to its emotional depth, sincerity and the rarefied beauty of many of his images. In their show together entitled 'We Are All Prostitutes', the two artists have not just chosen to focus on the obvious subject of the exploitation of women through the sex industry, but also the broader concept of how we often compromise our integrity on the altar of want and greed.
The show opens on the 26th January with a private view from 6pm-9pm with the exhibition continuing until the 18th February.
