Gauntlet Gallery — D*Face Print Index
District Art Fair (First Edition)
Summary
This 2022 screen print was produced by District 13 and drawn from D*Face's Boulevard Paris 13 mural, translating a public wall work into a signed, numbered edition of 300 at 70 x 50cm. It debuted for sale at the District 13 Art Fair, tying the print directly to a specific Parisian street-art moment.
Why It Matters
Prints derived from named murals carry a documentary value that studio-only images do not: they anchor the work to a real location and event. The District 13 fair connection gives 'District Art Fair' a Parisian provenance distinct from D*Face's usual London StolenSpace releases, broadening his print geography.
Collector Perspective
At an edition of 300 this is a more accessible release than his tighter runs, which suits collectors seeking an entry point or a piece with a clear mural origin story. The signed and numbered status supports authentication. Collectors valuing scarcity may prefer his smaller editions, but the fair and mural link add narrative appeal.
Historical Context
Boulevard Paris 13 is one of Europe's most significant open-air mural corridors, hosting major international street artists. D*Face's contribution there, and this fair-timed print, place him within France's institutional embrace of street art, distinct from his home-market StolenSpace lineage and reflecting his global reach by 2022.

About the Artist
D*Face is the working name of Dean Stockton (born 1978, London), a British street artist and a leading figure in the UK urban-contemporary scene. Drawing on comic books, pop art, skate graphics, and consumer iconography, he developed a signature cast of characters — winged "D*Dog" motifs, skull-faced pin-ups, and subverted Americana — rendered in bold, Lichtenstein-indebted lines. From stickers and street work in the early 2000s, he built a substantial studio practice of paintings, sculpture, and signed prints, founded the StolenSpace Gallery in London, and has collaborated widely across music and fashion.
