Umbrella Alley is proud to have a towering mural by GATS. 

About GATS:

GATS (an acronym for “graffiti against the system“ ) is a street artist based in Oakland California and an international graffiti legend. Although he created artwork worldwide, from Palestine, the Philippines to Italy, few people know much about the life of this anonymous artist. 

GATS is best known for his iconic mask, which started appearing when he was in the Middle East. The mask with its flowing beard can often be spotted in hidden alleys, underpasses, abandoned buildings and on a massive scale on rooftops. The all-seeing gaze has become a touchstone for the bay area mural scene.

Representing a sense of duality, GATS’s totem has been filled with intricate insignia over the years, speaking to the artist’s personal experiences
