D*Face, whose real name is Dean Stockton, is one of the most prominent figures in the British urban contemporary art scene. Born in London in 1978, his identity as a street artist remained largely a mystery until 2008 when he publicly revealed his name. Growing up, Stockton was heavily influenced by the 1980s American skate culture, the graphics in Thrasher magazine, and early New York City subway graffiti documented in books like Subway Art. These influences fostered a do it yourself (DIY) ethos and a unique visual language that merges pop art, punk aesthetics, and a sardonic sense of humour.

D*Face began his career in the late 1990s by creating hand drawn stickers and posters that he "sticker bombed" across the streets of London. This was a deliberate act of subverting the advertising world where he worked as a graphic designer, using the public domain as his canvas. His work is often described as "aPOPcalyptic" and is a critique of consumerism, celebrity culture, and the "American Dream". He achieves this by "defacing" well known cultural icons, such as the Queen of England or Marilyn Monroe, by adding elements of decay, like a drooling skull or wings, creating a "sweet and sugary on the surface, but with an unfamiliar, uncomfortable taste beneath" effect.

His work, which spans spray paint murals, stencils, paintings, and sculptures, can be found in major cities across the globe including New York, Tokyo, and Los Angeles. D*Face has had solo exhibitions worldwide and has collaborated with major brands and figures, including designing the album cover for Blink 182's California and David Beckham's whisky brand bottle. He also founded the influential StolenSpace Gallery in London in 2005, which has since become a hub for urban art. Today, Dean Stockton continues to be a major force in the urban art community, encouraging people to look closer at what surrounds them and question conspicuous consumption.
