Geometric Graffiti Art In Santa Clara, CA

While attending Connect Live 2019, I visited the Winchester Mansion with other Local Guides and then the Hello Kitty pop-up shop. Along the way, I spotted some of my favorite graffiti styles in real life next to Santana Row Park. The artist is Mike Tyau and these photos led me to look at some of his other work. I love this style so much.

What are some of your favorite graffiti styles? Have you seen any of these geometric polygonal designs? Share them below!

I also love geometric street art, @JordanSB ! I haven’t seen much of it but it’s the kind I could see in my apartment since it’s so vibrant and clean.

I’m also a big fan of Invader who creates 8-bit art. I found SO much of their work in Paris last year, like this one from Super Mario:

I love that, @TraciC . We have an amazing arcade in my hometown with graffiti including an 8-bit Super Mario. So cool!

HI @JordanSB

Drawing this bear with Lowpoly is very attractive, but in my life, I have never seen this pattern on the wall, I have only seen it on the Internet.

@JordanSB the bear is part of California’ s State flag, is it?

It is indeed, @karinchavoll ! Perhaps it was the artists’ inspiration? He does a lot of wildlife art and is based in the state, so maybe!

Hello @JordanSB ,

Thank you for sharing these amazing photos with us.

As a huge street art and graffiti lover, I don’t really have a favorite style, as long as it’s beautiful.

Following @TraciC 's 8-bit street art photo, I would like to share a similar one, taken in Paris as well.

Good find, @BorrisS ! I just love all of the street art I can find!

Oh, your post reminded me I do love Jason Naylor and here’s a snap from a building in NYC he was commissioned to do:

Funny, I love to detect street art on roof tops, corners and on places your never expecting them. Like in Berlin has Paris it’s corners too for art, of course.

I saw the invaders in black and white somewhere in the Balkans @TraciC

I love how the graffiti scene changed smoothly from hiphop culture in something more global and organic. Moving, growing and having no borders.

Please visit my gallery.

I bet you’ll find something funny for your taste :smiley:

I love this style of graffiti. It has something from a colorful Tangram.

Thanks for sharing @JordanSB

Hi @JordanSB

Yes as described in my post which I called 3-D Graffiti, I recently saw the graffiti style which you have described. I called it 3-D Graffiti because until I read the reply @Giu_DiB to my post, who by the way alerted me to your post, I didn’t know that this style of graffiti was called geometric graffiti, which makes a lot of sense! I can see that you do love this style and as I described in my post, I liked the one that I saw so much that I was compelled to break my journey and get off the tram to have a closer look and take a photo of it.

That guy is called The Invader. You’ll find him on my post deep in the Balkans @JordanSB

I guess Paris is the city of street art since hundreds of years @BorrisS no wonder they are in flow with the Zeitgeist of the century. If you are a street art and graffiti lover, so am I, I would suggest you to watch ‘Who is Banksy?’ It is a life journey of a french artist on search for Banksy and how he himself is becoming an artist. You will find this artist with 8-bit style there as well and many others.

Have you been in Berlin yet?

It is the paradise of graffiti lovers.

Thank you for the suggestion @JacobLED , I will try to watch it.

Speaking about street art in Paris, honestly I wasn’t fascinated! I guess I didn’t go to the right area when I was there. Most of the street art that I came across was a kind of an already painted paper put on the wall. Same thing when it comes to Rome.

In Bulgaria, cities like Sofia and most especially Plovdiv are a must destination for street art lovers. In Sofia, there is even a graffiti tour for free.

As far as Berlin is concerned, I didn’t go there yet, but it’s definitely on my bucket list.

Yeah I know exactly what you mean. They carried the art into workshops and prepare templates tp spray them or mostly stick them on walls @BorrisS

Thank you for your recommendation about Bulgaria. I have to discover what Bulgaria has to offer by next chance. I. already planning a trip through Bulgaria to Romania and Hungary.

The beauty is surreal! I mean how did he achieve that and at such a height? My favorite is the one that has the ‘bear’ in it. You have got good taste @JordanSB
