Gauntlet Gallery — D*Face Print Index
Green Lady
Summary
Dated 30 November 2007 and published by Black Rat Press, "Green Lady" is one of D*Face's earliest and most elaborate prints. A twenty-one-colour screenprint with varnish on 410 gsm BFK Reeves paper, measuring 81.5 x 68 cm, it was issued as a signed edition of 85 and reworks the classic mid-century "Green Lady" portrait.
Why It Matters
With twenty-one colours plus varnish, this is among the most technically ambitious screenprints in D*Face's catalogue and one of his earliest dated editions. Its reinterpretation of Vladimir Tretchikoff's famous "Chinese Girl" places it within his portrait-subversion practice, bridging kitsch popular imagery and street-derived pop.
Collector Perspective
An edition of 85 combined with a 2007 date makes this an early, comparatively scarce D*Face print with strong technical credentials. The heavy colour build and varnish reward inspection for registration and surface condition. The dated documentation aids provenance, so confirm signature, number, and the recorded date.
Historical Context
Produced in 2007, "Green Lady" predates much of D*Face's peak Black Rat Press activity, marking an early high point in his printmaking. Reworking a mid-century mass-market portrait reflects the era's appetite for recasting kitsch and popular imagery through a contemporary street-art lens.

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.
