D*FACE
INTRODUCING OUR SIGNATURE ARTIST, D*FACE
MEET D*FACE
London-based Dean Stockton, better known as D*Face, has gained legendary status in the street art world – and for good reason. He’s famous for his comic strip-like murals that satirise popular culture, instantly recognisable for their bold, eye-catching and rebellious style that blends art, design and graffiti. As well as splashing his works on the streets of London, he’s taken his brush to walls large and small across the world, and created stand-out album covers for Christina Aguilera and Blink 182.
A true street art advocate, D*Face opened London’s first contemporary art gallery dedicated to street art in the early 2000s. Stolen Space Gallery is still going strong in Shoreditch but you can catch D*Face’s works right here, at art’otel London Hoxton.
For me, urban art has always been about breaking down barriers, pushing the boundaries of what you expect and experimenting with every canvas I can get my hands on, and this opportunity with art’otel London Hoxton is that in its ultimate form. I’ve painted many walls over the past twenty or so years and I always say, the bigger the better – so what could be better than an entire hotel? It being in my hometown, on the doorstep of where my whole career started, is a real landmark moment for me.
