GATS PTV
Bay Area-based street artist GATS is an international graffiti legend, creating outdoor art in places that reach as far as the Middle East, South East Asia, Japan, Central America, Canada and Europe. Known for the iconic mask seen predominately throughout the artist’s work, the face of GATS can often be spotted peering out from an alley way or stretched across a rooftop, greeting passerby’s with it’s all-seeing gaze. Representing a sense of duality, GATS’s iconic totem has been filled with intricate insignia over the years, speaking to the artist’s personal reflections.
