Gauntlet Gallery — D*Face Print Index
Double Crossers
Summary
"Double Crossers" is a 2014 oil-based screen print rendered on a 14 x 14 inch steel disc, issued in an edition of just five through Stephen Webster Gallery. The choice of a circular steel substrate over paper reflects the collaboration's crossover between D*Face's street iconography and Webster's world of jewellery and precious materials.
Why It Matters
Printing on steel rather than paper is a departure from D*Face's typical output and signals a deliberately object-forward, collectible piece. At an edition of five, this sits among his most restricted releases, produced for a fine-jewellery house rather than a conventional print publisher, which frames it as a crossover artefact more than a standard edition print.
Collector Perspective
An edition of five on steel is a specialist acquisition: material durability and rarity are the draws, while conservation differs from paper works, requiring attention to the metal surface and finish. Collectors weighing this piece should treat it as an object edition, and verify condition of the disc, its mounting, and the integrity of the printed ink over metal.
Historical Context
By 2014 D*Face was well established within the UK urban-contemporary scene founded on his Death and pop-subversion motifs. The Stephen Webster Gallery context places this work at the intersection of street-rooted art and luxury jewellery, a pairing that produced small, materially unusual editions rather than the larger paper runs typical of his studio releases.

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.
