Gauntlet Gallery — D*Face Print Index
Untitled
Summary
This 2008 "Untitled" work was released through Stolen Space in an edition of 65, each carrying a unique background. Described across screenprint, hand-finishing, and hand-painted multiple techniques and measuring 24 x 18 inches, every example is individually distinct rather than a uniform print.
Why It Matters
The unique-background format means no two examples are alike, blurring the line between edition and original. Combining screenprinting with hand-finishing lets D*Face inject spontaneity into a structured edition, a hallmark of his hybrid practice and a draw for collectors who value one-of-a-kind character within a small run.
Collector Perspective
With 65 examples, each hand-finished with a distinct background, buyers should evaluate every piece on its individual visual merit. The hand-painted elements make condition and surface integrity important. Because it is untitled and variable, confirming the Stolen Space provenance and any signature or numbering is especially valuable.
Historical Context
Stolen Space, founded by D*Face in East London, became a central hub for street and urban contemporary art. A 2008 edition with unique backgrounds reflects the gallery's embrace of hand-worked multiples, capturing a moment when the scene prized individuality within accessible small-edition releases.

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.
