dr.d is a veteran street artist and ‘subvertiser’ based in London. Using a cut and paste technique developed in the fly posting industry of the 90’s to ‘doctor’ everything from big brand billboards to bus stops and beyond, dr.d mimics the scale and visibility of advertising to raise awareness about who has the power and authority to communicate messages and create meaning in our urban environment.
The act of subverting advertisements (or ‘subvertising’) has long been utilised as a tool for social commentary and protest within the field of street art. dr.d’s wry and insightful observations often appear in response to current affairs and social debate, providing a subversive take on mainstream news and media.
