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

An integral part of creating geometric designs is anticipating of undetermined outcomes. Marc emphasises that every shape and colour selection can be seen as an impulse reaction to the shapes and colors that he has previously sketched. Optic illusions, false shadows the transformation from flatness to dimensions, all seemingly basic details - when presented at the Ampersand Gallery in Portland last year, they fascinated the audience.

Geometric Illustrations Lesson

• No pencil drawing beforehand.
• Start working on the outside by drawing a background silhouette.
• Imagine what might be inside the inside.
• Don't overload it by adding excessive details.
• Use the parameter you have been given.
• Add an unrealistic shadow or making an optical illusion.
• Aim for creating harmony.
• Constantly react to the previously drawn.
• Do small drawings.

"My Name is Marc David Spengler, I'm 25 years old and I'm living in a suburb of Stuttgart, Germany. From the time I was a child, I've always been drawing a lot. I remember when I was in the fifth grade, I wrote that one of my goals was to be a car artist. A little bit later, when I was 12, I discovered the world of graffiti which has been a huge motivational source for the rest of my life.

The reason why artists employ geometric forms?

It's not my turn to be an artist doing real graffiti today However, I'm watching geometric forms every day via social media, magazines and books. When I finished school in 2014, and began learning in communication design at the Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart and am currently learning today as a student in the class of Patrick Thomas.

Besides my studies In addition, I'm involved in exhibitions, brand collaborations, and my sketchbooks. In terms of my style of illustration, I'm mostly working with abstract geometric shapes as well as bright color combinations which I try to balance in a self-given frame. My aim for each composition I'm creating is to bring the illusion of harmony.

What is geometric art?

To make geometric art, I'm not drawing an initial pencil sketch which is why a large portion of my drawings are imaginary. I prefer to begin working from the outside, creating a silhouette of the background, and then I imagine what could be within. Therefore, I'm always reacting to the previously drawn shapes and this makes the process fascinating to me since I don't even know what the final result will look in the end.

I favor making simple geometric drawings because they give me an easier view of the composition and tend not to overdo it with excessive details. While drawing, I also like to play with the given parameterslike creating an unreal shadow or making an optical illusion since everything is feasible in the two-dimensional world."
