Wild D*Face Flower
Summary
Wild D*Face Flower is a 2024 collaboration between Kai & Sunny and D*Face, a four-colour hand-pulled screen print with an acrylic-sprayed icon on heavy 800gsm Colorplan white paper, at 84 x 49.5 cm. Signed by both artists in an edition of just 4, it is among the rarest works in the studio's catalogue.
Why It Matters
An edition of only 4 places this in extremely rare territory. The heavyweight 800gsm Colorplan support and the hand-sprayed acrylic icon make each impression a labour-intensive, near-unique object, marrying Kai & Sunny's flowing pattern with D*Face's pop-inflected iconography.
Collector Perspective
With just four impressions in existence, this is a trophy-tier acquisition; the hand-sprayed acrylic means condition and consistency of the applied icon are central to appraisal. Dual signatures authenticate the collaboration. The 800gsm board is unusually rigid, which affects framing choices. Verify both artists' signatures and the exact number within the run of four.
Historical Context
Part of Kai & Sunny's 2024 Wild series, this piece pairs the duo with D*Face (Dean Stockton), a leading British urban-pop artist known for his subversive comic and skull imagery. The collaboration echoes their parallel Wild works with Shepard Fairey, positioning the Wild grouping as a hub for cross-artist editions.
