Gauntlet Gallery — D*Face Print Index
Undead
Summary
"Undead" is a 2014 oil-based screen print on a 14 x 14 inch steel disc, produced in an edition of five for Stephen Webster Gallery. The title and format together place D*Face's death-and-decay iconography onto a circular metal substrate, a departure from his usual paper editions toward a more object-like collectible.
Why It Matters
"Undead" speaks directly to the zombie and death motifs that recur across D*Face's practice. At an edition of five and rendered on steel, it is both thematically on-brand and materially rare, a small crossover release made in partnership with a jewellery house rather than a conventional publisher.
Collector Perspective
The edition of five ensures scarcity, while the steel disc format offers durability and a sculptural presence uncommon in print collecting. Enthusiasts of D*Face's darker, undead imagery will find this a focused example. As with the series, condition review should address the metal, its finish, and ink adhesion rather than paper concerns.
Historical Context
Death imagery, zombies, and decay have defined D*Face's aesthetic since his early adhesive and street pieces. Issued in 2014 through Stephen Webster Gallery, "Undead" belongs to a crossover moment translating those motifs into precious, jewellery-adjacent objects made in minimal runs.

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.
