Rob Croxford, Biography
With a BFA in fine arts, Rob has been painting
professionally for over 14 years. In those
years he has been a 'Scenic Artist’ for theatre all across Southern Ontario, and a ‘Mural Artist’ just about everywhere else!
Rob has spent the last 5 years showing his art in parks all over Toronto and just completed successful exhibitions at Gallery 129 Ossington and as part of The Artist Project.
When asked “what is to come?” Rob will promptly inform you that he has his sights clearly set on ‘total global art domination‘!
Rob’s work is always playful, mostly clever,
slightly twisted, and has a “pocket-sized”
political edge. As an entertainer/activist/smarty-pants, Rob is always looking for new ways to challenge/amuse!
