D*Face: American Depress Card - 2008 (Original Issue) VG +

D’Face’s faux “American Express” card aptly adjusted to read ‘American Depress’! A great example of DFace’s iconic humour. Inscribed at the bottom is the embossed of “Your Name Here” lower left. Credit Card Number actually reads “SIGN YOUR LIFE AWAY”. Among other street artists, D*Face has eagerly been entering the auction market, possibly another subliminal play from him as using your “American Express” to invest in the ‘American Depress’  The art is fitted into a floating Perspex frame, so both sides can be viewed.  

Dean Stockton, better known under his pseudonym D*Face, creates incisive, irreverent paintings, prints, sculptures, and murals that satirize popular culture. His targets range from mainstream consumerism to the American dream. Employing a Pop aesthetic, D*Face references cartoon characters such as Mickey Mouse and celebrities such as Kurt Cobain, draping instantly recognizable icons with signifiers of death, excess, and greed. The artist cites New York’s graffiti and skateboard cultures as formative influences, and his work can evoke the styles of Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol. D*Face has exhibited in New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Barcelona, Paris, Melbourne, Tokyo, and Taipei, and his public works can be found in many more cities. He has also produced a number of collaborations with brands including Haig Club, Triumph Motorcycles, Indian Motorcycle, Uniqlo, and Zippo.
