Love Her Hate Him (Hand Painted Multiple)
Work Summary & Collector Notes
"Love Her, Hate Him" is a 2013 hand-painted multiple by D*Face, combining screen printing with hand painting on 410gsm paper at a large 115 x 128.5 cm. Published by StolenSpace in an HPM edition of five, each example is individually finished, so no two are identical.
Collector notes: The saved release record describes: HPM Edition Of 5. Edition-specific signature, numbering, and stamp details were not stated in the saved release record. Verify signing and numbering against a documented example of this edition.
Why It Matters
As a hand-painted multiple (HPM), every one of the five is a unique object built on a shared printed base, blurring the line between edition and original. The large scale and the title's love-and-hate duality make it a centrepiece-scale statement of one of D*Face's signature thematic tensions.
Collector Perspective
An HPM edition of five is among the most exclusive tiers of D*Face's output, each piece unique through its hand-applied elements. The 115 x 128.5 cm format is substantial and framing-dependent. Collectors should document the specific hand-painted variations of their example, as these individual differences define the work's uniqueness.
Historical Context
The love-and-hate motif is a defining strand of D*Face's practice, drawn from pulp-romance and pop sources he subverts. Released in 2013 through his own StolenSpace gallery, this HPM reflects the studio's practice of issuing tiny, hand-finished editions alongside larger standard prints, aimed at collectors seeking near-unique works.
