Unfollow
Work Summary & Collector Notes
"Unfollow" is a 2014 oil-based screen print on a 14 x 14 inch steel disc, issued in an edition of five through Stephen Webster Gallery. The title nods to social-media culture, and the steel format sets it apart from D*Face's paper editions, casting a contemporary consumer theme as a durable collectible object.

Why It Matters
Where much of D*Face's work critiques consumer and celebrity culture, "Unfollow" extends that satire into the era of social media. Produced on steel at an edition of five, it pairs a timely subject with an unusual material, marking it as a crossover object from a jewellery-house collaboration rather than a standard print run.
Collector Perspective
Five examples make this a scarce acquisition, and the social-media reference gives it a distinct contemporary hook within D*Face's catalogue. The steel disc demands object-appropriate care. Collectors should verify the condition of the metal, finish, and printed surface, treating it as an edition object rather than a paper print.
Historical Context
D*Face has long targeted media saturation and celebrity worship; "Unfollow" updates that critique for the platform age. Released in 2014 by Stephen Webster Gallery, it sits within a crossover series that reimagined his motifs through the materials and sensibility of fine jewellery in very small editions.
