Work detail
Dean Stockton (D*Face) began his career as a street artist fifteen years ago in London by hand-drawing stickers and posters, and is now a leading figure in urban contemporary art. With his fusion of pop culture and graffiti, he has become notorious for witty and veneered cultural critiques that conceal more malicious undertones. In rethinking and subverting popular imagery, he encourages us to grasp our cultural environment, especially with regard to our increasingly bizarre fascination with celebrity, fame, and consumerism. This book is published on the occasion of his very first museum show, at the CAC Málaga, and reviews his entire career through 39 selected works.
