The murals, “Float On” and Succession,” are the work of San Diego artist Maxx Moses and explore themes of duality, movement and peace
View of a new mural unveiled at the Grossmont Transit Center, which was painted by artist Maxx Moses on Wednesday, Aug. 14, 2024.The daily commute for La Mesa transit riders just got a lot more colorful, with two new murals now completed at the Grossmont Transit Center.
Moses came up with the concept for “Color the Corridor” in 2020 while riding the trolley with his son from their Lemon Grove neighborhood. As he took photographs along their journey, he noticed that something was missing: art. He proposed the mural project to MTS that year, and the agency adopted it in 2022.
One of the murals, “Float On,” depicts a fish swimming against a blue background, facing a black and white circular design, which to Moses represents duality. Creating murals at the MTS stations has been a “full circle experience” for Moses, he says. Early in his career, he would write his name on the streets and walls of the subway in New York City, and now he’s again creating art at public transit stations — but this time legally.
When graffiti artists are working in the street, “you’re forced to do the artwork under pressure,” Moses said.
