D'STASSI ART PRESENTS
Don't miss the opportunity to witness history in the making; D’Stassi Art will be opening the doors of their flagship in Shoreditch London for a new Angel ‘LA II’ Ortiz exhibition ‘The Great Collaborator’ opening on May 10th, 2024. This exhibition brings together some of the most renowned names in street art; STIK, Shepard Fairey, Mr.Doodle, and Mark Kostabi, all working collaboratively with the legendary Angel ‘LA II’ Ortiz. ‘The Great Collaborator’ will also feature a series of collaboration artworks between Angel and the late Ricahrd Hambleton, made before his death in 2017. This is a truly unique experience as these giants come together for the first and only time.
'The Great Collaborator' showcases Angel's significant contributions to the art world and his profound influence on other major artists. Angel rose to prominence in the New York art scene in the 1980’s through his almost decade-long partnership with Keith Haring. Haring spotted Angel’s tag shortly after moving to New York and sought out the then teenaged artist. After meeting, the pair combined their signature styles on paintings, sculptures and clothing taking them across the world.
D’Stassi Art is dedicated to honoring his legacy and celebrating the magic he brings to collaborative works. Witness firsthand the impact LAII has had on the next generation of artists and discover the inspiration behind his iconic style that has captivated audiences for over four decades.

Gallery Directors Michael Howes and Edward Sanders say:
“This will mark our most exciting exhibition to date. It is a privilege to be part of Angel’s incredible story and to have such respected and successful artists supporting Angel and the gallery. This feels like a significant milestone for D’Stassi Shoreditch. This exhibition will truly be a once in a lifetime opportunity to showcase a fraction of the incredible influence and inspiration Angel has shared with his peers over the last 40 years from tagging in the streets of lower east side with ‘TNS’ and SOE Angels best friend of 40+ years (who we will be flying over to DJ on the night). To see him creating new unseen collaborative works with legends like STIK and Shepard Fairey is a true sign of his long overdue renaissance and is a testament to Angel’s legacy amongst his peers.” - E Sanders, Co-Founder/Director.
