Collection: Rocky Dobey

Rocky Dobey began anonymously installing street art in Toronto over five decades ago, using xeroxed posters, agitprop billboards, concrete sculptures, lacquered books, and political plaques. Today, his practice includes intaglio prints, copper sculptures, and large etched works enhanced with materials such as porcelain paint and tar. While the scale and techniques have evolved, his work continues to explore the same political and social concerns that animated his early street interventions. Recent exhibitions include Power at OCADU’s Onsite Gallery and Civilization and its Discontents at Gagné Contemporary.
