Dean Stockton, also known as D*Face, was born in 1978 in London, where he currently lives and works.

An artist, sculptor, and illustrator, he also opened his urban art gallery, Stolenspace Gallery, in London in 2005.

From adolescence, D*Face was fascinated by the United States and the American Dream. Already passionate about skateboarding and drawing, the artist discovered Graffiti and Street Art at the age of 15 through specialized magazines like « Subway Art » and « Spraycan Art. »

After studying design, he launched his career as a freelance illustrator and simultaneously pursued his work in the streets. His work draws inspiration from American comics, particularly those of artists like Matt Baker, Jack Kamen, and John Romita. His style is recognizable for its use of pop art imagery, reminiscent of Roy Lichtenstein or even Andy Warhol, featuring icons like Marilyn Monroe or the Queen of England. His artwork addresses society’s obsession with celebrities and overconsumption in a dark and satirical manner. The goal of his work is « to encourage people not only to see but also to look at what surrounds them, to rethink the stereotypes of our culture, and not to remain passive in the face of conspicuous consumption, » says D*Face.

His murals depict highly expressive male and female figures, often accompanied by commentary or thoughts. They appear as if lifted from the pages of an American comic book and can be seen in various cities, including Barcelona, New York, Tokyo, Miami, and Los Angeles.
