Love Hurts
Summary
Love Hurts (2024) is a StolenSpace release, a thirteen-colour screen print on Lambeth Archival 370gsm at a square 65 x 65cm. Signed, stamped and numbered by the artist, the edition runs to 150. The square format and layered palette make it a focused expression of D*Face's love-and-pain visual language.
Why It Matters
Love Hurts distils one of D*Face's signature themes into a single striking image. Thirteen colours give the print real depth for a work of its size, and the square 65 x 65cm format is a clean, contemporary presentation. As a StolenSpace edition, it carries the reliable provenance of the artist's own gallery.
Collector Perspective
At an edition of 150 this is an accessible entry into D*Face's core romantic-tension motif. Collectors should confirm the signature, stamp and numbering are all present, and check the square sheet for even margins. The Lambeth Archival 370gsm stock is durable, and flat storage away from light preserves the layered colour over time.
Historical Context
The love-hurts theme runs deep in D*Face's catalogue, echoing the wounded-heart and skull-kissed imagery that has defined his work since the 2000s. StolenSpace has been the consistent London vehicle for these editions, and Love Hurts continues that lineage as a compact, on-brand statement of the artist's central preoccupation.

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.
