Suck Face
Summary
"Suck Face" (2014) is a signed and numbered eight-colour screen print on cotton paper from Stolen Space, in an edition of 150. The playful, provocative title reflects D*Face's romance-and-desire subject matter, filtered through his comic-inflected pop sensibility.
Why It Matters
The eight-colour build and cotton stock place it among D*Face's proper gallery editions. "Suck Face" taps his recurring exploration of love, lust, and its comedic underside — a vein of work that connects his imagery to vintage romance-comic aesthetics and gives the print its distinctive character.
Collector Perspective
An edition of 150 keeps this within reach for collectors building a D*Face grouping. Cotton paper favors condition retention. As a signed and numbered first edition, it carries primary-release provenance; verify the signature and edition number, and inspect for the clean colour registration typical of an eight-layer print.
Historical Context
Released in 2014 through Stolen Space, "Suck Face" belongs to D*Face's Love-and-Hate lineage, where affection and irreverence collide. The work draws on the pulp-romance visual tradition the artist frequently repurposes, recasting sentimental imagery with a knowing, subversive edge.

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.
