Ellipses in the Key of Blue by Randy Colosky

Ellipses in the Key of Blue by Oakland-based artist Randy Colosky is a temporary mural in the South of Market area of San Francisco, covering the site of the Yerba Buena/Moscone BART station, currently under construction. It is on view until May 2015.

Randy Colosky was educated at the Kansas City Art Institute and now lives in Oakland, where he create 2- and 3-dimensional work that seems to always involve laborious or repetitive activity, as seen in this mural.
