]]> GATS Mural at Umbrella Alley in San Francisco https://umbrellaalley.com/gats-mural-at-umbrella-alley-in-san-francisco/ Fri, 21 May 2021 02:25:40 +0000 https://umbrellaalley.com/?p=1324

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

]]> fnnch Fisherman’s Wharf Honey Bear Mural at Umbrella Alley https://umbrellaalley.com/fnnch-fishermans-wharf-honey-bear/ Thu, 28 Jan 2021 22:54:42 +0000 https://umbrellaalley.com/?p=903

Creating the Fisherman's Wharf Honey Bear

Fnnch Fisherman's Wharf Honey Bear with Dungerness Crabs

 

@fnnch Fisherman’s Wharf Honey Bear 

THIS  MURAL IS GOING TO BE REPAINTED AT THE NEW LOCATION IN WINTER OF 2025

San Francisco muralist fnnch just completed a new project in the heart of Fisherman’s Wharf.

Umbrella Alley SF is thrilled to have a @fnnch honey bear piece as part of the mural collection.

The design fnnch painted reflects the hard working fishing industry that is still the heart of Fisherman’s  Wharf.

Dungeness Crab is the official and very tasty icon for this historic waterfront district. The two crabs proudly displayed are a shout out to the rhythmic sound of crab crackers still working every day in the crab stands. The Crab season starts in mid November and is eagarily anticipated each year. 

About fnnch:

fnnch believes art is for everyone. Only about 5% of a city’s residents and visitors tour its modern art museum. Street art and murals are art for the other 95%, inspiring and engaging them with the arts.

fnnch creates street art and murals using multi-layered stencils and spray paint. He calls his work “contemporary pop art”, depicting objects from both nature and everyday life. His art can be found in San Francisco, LA, New York, Miami, Chicago, St. Louis, Tel Aviv and Hong Kong.
