Gauntlet Gallery — D*Face Print Index
Unity - Suck Face Twist
Summary
'Unity - Suck Face Twist' is a 2021 collaborative screen print through StolenSpace, a hand-pulled 7-colour silkscreen on Somerset radiant white 410gsm at roughly 74 x 85cm. Signed bottom left by both artists, stamped bottom right, and hand-deckled along the bottom edge, it runs to an edition of 150.
Why It Matters
Collaborative editions carry two names and two collector bases, which broadens their appeal. The dual signature, blind stamp, and hand-deckled edge are hallmarks of a carefully finished StolenSpace release. On premium Somerset 410gsm stock, it sits among the better-produced D*Face collaborations of the period.
Collector Perspective
Collectors value the double signature, the heavyweight Somerset paper, and the hand-deckled edge as marks of a considered production. At 150 impressions it is moderately scarce. Because it is a collaboration, condition of both signatures and the stamp matters for authentication, and the deckled edge should be preserved rather than trimmed.
Historical Context
StolenSpace has long been a hub for collaborative print projects between D*Face and allied artists. Released in 2021, 'Unity - Suck Face Twist' reflects the gallery's practice of pairing artists on unified editions, drawing on D*Face's romance-comic 'twist' motif of embracing figures rendered with his characteristic dark humour.

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.
