Silent Ride
Summary
Silent Ride is a 2023 self-released silkscreen from D*Face, printed in twenty-four colours on Albion Cotton 400gsm at 55.5 x 100cm. Stamped, signed and numbered by the artist, it issued at £450. The elongated landscape format and dense colour build make it one of his more cinematic recent editions.
Why It Matters
Twenty-four colours on a wide 55.5 x 100cm sheet is an ambitious combination, producing a panoramic, layered image. The choice of Albion Cotton 400gsm, a heavyweight cotton paper, underlines archival quality. As a self-release, Silent Ride reflects D*Face's direct-to-collector model, and its documented £450 issue price anchors its primary-market context.
Collector Perspective
The unusual landscape proportions make this a distinctive display piece but also demand wide wall space and custom framing. Collectors should verify the stamp, signature and numbering, and check the long sheet for handling creases. Albion Cotton is robust, though the extended format benefits from rigid, flat storage and careful transport.
Historical Context
Silent Ride belongs to D*Face's self-released stream, where he controls format and finish end to end. The motoring and motion imagery echoes his longstanding fascination with speed, rebellion and Americana, reworked here across a wide cinematic sheet that rewards viewing at scale.

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.
