Union Jacked
Summary
Union Jacked is a 2016 thirteen-colour screen print by D*Face, published by Stolen Space in an edition of 150. Printed on Hahnemühle 300gsm cotton paper at 74 x 47cm, it is signed, numbered and blind stamped. The title's pun on the Union Jack signals a play on British identity and patriotic imagery.
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.

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.
