Although there are numerous types of work on Martin Sobey’s site, I’m really enamored with what he’s done to city cracks and crevices.
It’s so easy to tune out while walking in a city, and resign oneself to simply getting through the harsh gray pavement and elements of decay.
I would be thrilled to pass one of Sobey’s projects; bursts of vibrant color and life seeping through the cracks…as if there’s an intensely rich world beneath. These designs are a reversal of all expectations.
I appreciate how the blasts of color encourage people to look beyond the facade of mundane appearances.

Thanks for your posting of my work. I would love to have you see one in real life! They are so ephemeral, that sometimes I don’t even get to see them after my initial installation- they get taken or taken down. When I do get to see them, and they stay up a bit, unknown forces (rain, snow, wind, cars, people) break them down. The decay is beautiful and represents the great potential of the unknown. Thanks again and stay in touch -Martin Sobey
Beautiful pictures!!!
