Hate (Silver)
Work Summary & Collector Notes
"Hate (Silver)" is a 2006 Pictures On Walls screenprint in a signed and numbered edition of just 25, at 50 x 50 cm. The silver colourway and compact square format concentrate D*Face's love-and-hate iconography into a single bold statement, one of his tightest editions of the year.

Why It Matters
An edition of only 25 makes this one of the scarcest D*Face prints in the index, and its Pictures On Walls provenance ties it to the most influential street-art publisher of the era. The "Hate" motif is a recurring pillar of his practice, playing the flip side to affection and sentiment in his visual vocabulary.
Collector Perspective
With just 25 impressions, this is a genuinely scarce release where any surfacing example is notable. The silver colourway can show handling and surface marks more visibly than matte stocks, so condition is paramount. Signed and numbered status, plus verification of the low edition number, are the key checkpoints for collectors.
Historical Context
Pictures On Walls (POW) was the seminal London street-art publisher of the 2000s, closely tied to Banksy and the wider scene, and its D*Face editions carry that lineage. 2006 sits early in D*Face's editioned output. The love/hate binary he explored draws on punk graphics and tattoo-culture knuckle iconography.
