This is courtesy of the San Francisco StreetSmARTS program, funded by the Department of Public Works. According to their website “It is by artist, Robert Harris. For this mural, Harris creates an urban/abstract landscape that offers a renewed perspective of the city’s shapes and textures. Featuring a composite of historical and contemporary views of Market Street looking towards the Ferry Building, the mural presents a timeless scene of overlapping decades. Above the city skyline, a series of paintbrushes drip bright colors becoming a metaphor for San Francisco’s creative spirit. Bordering the bottom of the mural, brightly colored painted tiles- the building blocks of the city- symbolize Market Street’s culturally diverse environment.”
San Francisco based Harris, formally studied art in San Diego, Australia and Turkey, He received his BA in Fine Art from San Diego State University in 2006. He was recently was appointed a curatorial position at the SFO Museum.
