Face To D*Face
Summary
Face To D*Face (2023) is a StolenSpace sculptural edition rather than a print: mixed media on hand-lacquered A-grade plywood with a solid steel inlay, measuring 28 x 31 x 9cm. Limited to 50 uniquely numbered examples, each carries an etched steel plaque and arrives in a foam-lined box with a dual-signed COA, tote bag and stickers.
Why It Matters
As a three-dimensional mixed-media object, this edition stands apart from D*Face's paper output and appeals to collectors seeking sculpture. The hand-lacquered plywood, solid steel inlay and etched steel plaque give it substantial material presence and craft. An edition of 50 with a full accompanying package makes it a considered, collectible release.
Collector Perspective
Completeness drives desirability here: the sculpture, foam-lined box, dual-signed certificate of authenticity, tote bag and stickers should ideally remain together. The etched, uniquely numbered steel plaque on the back is the primary identifier, so collectors should confirm it and match the number to the COA. The lacquered surface and steel inlay reward careful, dust-free handling.
Historical Context
Face To D*Face translates the artist's flat iconography into a physical object, part of a broader trend among street-derived artists moving into sculpture and multiples. StolenSpace, his own gallery, is the natural home for such an ambitious editioned release, and the full box presentation reflects the collectible-object approach common to premium 2020s art drops.

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.
Collecting D*Face at Gauntlet Gallery
Which D*Face works should I collect?
His signed, numbered screenprints — especially hand-finished and low-edition works — are the collectible core, prized for bold pop imagery. Look for clean condition and the artist's signature. Gauntlet Gallery prioritizes complete, well-documented impressions.
How is a D*Face piece authenticated?
We sell his works with documented provenance and the edition's signature and numbering. Each piece is photographed as-is, including signature and edition details, so you can verify before purchase.
What drives value?
Edition size, hand-embellishment, iconic imagery, condition, and provenance all shape value. Low-numbered, hand-finished, and larger works command the strongest premiums.
