San Francisco’s Surreal Street Art: BiP, Nychos, Mars 1, Damon Soule, NoMe Edonna, David Choong Lee & Oliver Vernon, Lango Oliveira, Jonathan Matas and Hyde1

September 16, 2017

While combing the streets of San Francisco, I was struck by the dozens of intriguing surreal images that grace the city’s visual landscape. Pictured above is the work of the anonymous street painter known simply as BiP. I captured it on my last day in San Francisco, as it was near completion. What follows are several more images — marked by a surreal sensibility — that gripped me:
