Abstract and striking geometric drawings: imaginary drawings deeply rooted in graffiti created by Marc David Spengler

An integral part of the creation process of geometric designs is anticipating of unforeseen outcomes. Marc emphasizes that every form and colour selection will trigger an emotional reaction in those shapes and colours that he has previously sketched. optical illusions, fake shadows transitions from flatness into spatiality, seemingly simple details - when presented at Ampersand Gallery in Portland this year, the works mesmerised the viewer.

"My name is Marc David Spengler, I'm 25, I live in a suburb of Stuttgart, Germany. From the time I was a child, I've always been sketching a lot. When I was in 5th grade, I wrote that my career aspiration was to become a car artist. In the next few years, when I was 12 I got into the world of graffiti, which has been a huge inspiration source for me from the beginning.

The reason why artists employ geometric designs?

There's no way to find an artist doing real graffiti today however I'm still observing geometric shapes every day through social media, magazines as well as books. After I graduated from school in 2014, I began learning about communication designs at the Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart which is where I'm taking classes today under the tutelage taught by Patrick Thomas.

Apart from my studies and research, I'm also working on exhibits, brand collaborations, and my sketchbooks. When it comes to my style of illustration, I'm mostly working with abstract geometric shapes as well as bright color combinations which attempt to blend into an undefined frame. My goal for every composition which I'm working on is to achieve an atmosphere of harmony.

What is geometric art?

In order to create geometric art I don't have a pencil drawing beforehand which is why a large portion my drawings are imagined. I prefer to begin working on the outside by drawing a background silhouette, after which I think about what's in the interior. Therefore, I'm always reacting to the shapes I've drawn previously, which makes it very intriguing for me as I also don't know how it will appear when it's finished.

I like making smaller geometric drawings because they give me a better overview of the overall composition. I also try not to overdo it with numerous elements. While drawing, I love to experiment with the provided parameterslike creating the illusion of shadows or an optical illusion. This is because everything is possible within the 2-dimensional realm."
