Signed by both artists in an edition of 150, it fuses the duo's pattern work with D*Face's pop iconography.
Collector notes: First Edition; saved release record states an edition size of 150. The saved release record describes: signed. Verify each feature against a documented example of this edition.
Why It Matters
With seven colour passes, this is a technically rich collaborative print, marrying Kai & Sunny's flowing abstraction with D*Face's subversive comic-pop imagery. As the D*Face companion to Unity - Obey Flower, it forms half of the 2021 Unity collaborative pairing, drawing collectors from both artists' followings.
Collector Perspective
An edition of 150 signed by both artists makes this scarce and cross-market. The seven-colour build and hand-deckled edge are notable finish elements to preserve. Verify both signatures and the number when acquiring. Collectors pursuing the Unity series will want this alongside the Shepard Fairey Obey Flower companion.
Historical Context
Unity - Suck Face Twist pairs Kai & Sunny with D*Face (Dean Stockton) within the 2021 Unity series, the companion to their Shepard Fairey collaboration of the same grouping. The Unity theme casts these works as collaborative gestures, and the pairing with D*Face anticipates the later 2024 Wild D*Face Flower.
