Gauntlet Gallery — D*Face Print Index
Going Nowhere Fast (Blue)
Summary
Going Nowhere Fast (Blue) is a 2011 Stolen Space release: a ten-colour screen print on 400gsm archival paper, measuring 55 x 100 cm in a landscape format. Signed and numbered in an edition of 150, its ten-colour build and elongated composition make it one of the more graphically layered prints of its year.
Why It Matters
The ironic title captures D*Face's wry commentary on motion and futility, a pop-cynical register that defines much of his output. The ten-colour separation is technically demanding for a screen print, and the wide 55 x 100 cm format gives the imagery a cinematic, panoramic presence uncommon in his editions.
Collector Perspective
At 150, this is among the larger editions here and correspondingly the most accessible entry point. The archival 400gsm paper supports long-term preservation, and the landscape orientation suits display over furniture. The blue colourway indicates it may sit within a variant set worth noting for collectors assembling colourways.
Historical Context
In 2011 D*Face was producing a steady stream of screen prints through Stolen Space aimed at a broadening collector base. Larger editions like this made his work available to newer buyers while the multi-colour, wide-format approach demonstrated the technical ambition his print program had reached by this point.

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.
