Why It Matters
The thirteen-colour build on Hahnemühle cotton paper reflects a quality studio production, and the blind stamp confirms it as a fully vetted Stolen Space release. The Union Jack subject connects the print to D*Face's British roots and his habit of subverting national and pop symbols with a critical edge.
Collector Perspective
At 150 copies on premium cotton stock, Union Jacked balances availability with craftsmanship. The blind stamp and Hahnemühle paper are strong authentication markers, alongside the signature and numbering. The overtly British theme gives it particular resonance for collectors drawn to the artist's home-country commentary.
Historical Context
A London-born artist, D*Face has repeatedly engaged with British iconography, and Union Jacked, published by his own Stolen Space gallery in 2016, extends that thread. The 2016 timing coincided with a period of heightened debate over British identity, giving the flag imagery added cultural charge.
