About the Artist and the Art

D*Face grew up in London and had a childhood interest in graffiti in drawing. He credits this to Henry Chalfant's coverage of subway graffiti in New York City in Spraycan and Subway Art, later as a teenager skateboarding and in particular Thrasher magazine's coverage of skateboard deck graphics led his interest in stickers and the DIY mentality associated with skate and punk fanzines.

The artist’s USPs are the D*Dog and Angel Wings motifs which are embedded in his art works

Dean Stockton, better known by his alias D*Face, is an English multimedia street artist who uses spray paint, stickers, posters, and stencils.

D*Face grew up in London and had a childhood interest in graffiti in drawing. He credits this to Henry Chalfant's coverage of subway graffiti in New York City in Spraycan and Subway Art, later as a teenager skateboarding and in particular Thrasher magazine's coverage of skateboard deck graphics led his interest in stickers and the DIY mentality associated with skate and punk fanzines.

He attended an illustration and design course and worked as a freelance illustrator/designer whilst honing his street work. Influences included Shepard Fairey's "Obey Giant" art campaign, Jim Philips, hip hop, punk music, and popular animated cartoons.

Dface and Sheperd Fairey work together creating multi media statuettes and art works.

He held his first major London solo exhibition, Death & Glory, at the Stolenspace gallery, which sold out in October 2006. Since then, his exhibitions have included a solo show, Eyecons, at O Contemporary in Brighton in March 2007, again a sell out show. This featured new paintings, an installation and two prints — of Kurt "Kant Complain" and Cli-Che.

D*Face was the owner and curator for the Outside Institute, London's first contemporary art gallery to focus on street art. In 2005 the Outside Institute moved and re-branded to become the Stolen Space Gallery.

Today Stolen Space Gallery is the main exhibitor for Dfaces work and recently had an exhibition at Gallerie Itinerrance, Paris.
