Rocky has been installing street art in Toronto and other Canadian cities for five decades. Over the past 20 years Dobey has developed a more formal practice of intaglio prints, copper sculptures, and recently large etched works in copper, enhanced with porcelain paint, tar and other materials. The new works address many of the same concerns as early street art, but applied to a much larger scale, and using techniques derived from printmaking and sculptural traditions.
