"Opening night release of a NYC print, edition of 47. Produced and pulled in house by my own ink stained hands... just the way mum taught me..."

I don't know we saw Walker releases for just over 300 of that sort of size, so would think possibly within that range unless it's another 59.5 colour screen print jobbie of captain americas pants

ahhh! could it be 47 in NYC, and another 47 in LDN

I am assuming that the photo on his website is of the print he will be releasing - Even though you can't see the whole thing it looks like more of the same comic book stuff - I really hope not!

Not sure Im gonna like it The image might be a bit too busy for me

I think DFACE chose 47 because that is the going price in pounds on EBAY for
Street Improvements 1 ,2 ,3 ,4 and 5 combined

nah, its just a bit of forum hype

Ditto what Phototoxic said!

Also where did the 47 prints info come from? I havnt seen that on his site or the gallery site.

I really think this show is going to be very very good. I cant wait to see what he come out with.

Thanks.. I didnt see that before.

'AF: What shows or projects have you got coming up?
D*Face: I’ve got a bunch of things lined up well into 2010: a solo show at Jonathan Levine Gallery New York in 2009, a solo show/retrospective print show in South Africa 2009, I’m working with an agent in Japan on a bunch of really interesting potential projects and I also have a solo show in LA scheduled for 2010.'

Here the info I just got on the show from Jonathan LeVine! Print info is at the bottom.



NEW YORK, NY (August 11, 2009) — Jonathan LeVine Gallery is pleased to present Ludovico Aversion Therapy / All Your Dreams Belong To Us, a solo exhibition of new original works and multiples by the London-based street artist known as D*Face, returning to the gallery for his debut solo show in the United States; in conjunction with a site-specific, street-level installation.

The show title Ludovico Aversion Therapy references a futuristic human behavior reconditioning treatment from A Clockwork Orange (the 1972 cult-classic film by Stanley Kubrick), in which the patient’s eyelids are forced open to watch disturbing footage containing subliminal messages. Artist statement: “If you've ever wondered what goes on inside of my mind, this body of work is it. A visual interpretation of lucid dreams—the replaying, disassembly and reconfiguring of images held in one’s mind... it's as much ‘Exquisite Corpse’ as everyday Ludovico Aversion Therapy.”

Re-interpreting the exquisite corpse concept, each piece in Ludovico Aversion Therapy features a singular composite subject created using an amalgamation of various branded corporate identity mascots combined with classic superhero characters, interspersed with typography derived from comic book art and advertising. Having spliced these elements into thin segments of recognizable information, the artist scrambles the pieces then stacks them vertically, re-assigning features to form mismatched conglomerate faces and deliver a powerfully graphic impact.

Paintings and etchings in this exhibition feature the artist’s signature tongue-in-cheek aesthetic, known for creating two and three-dimensional work using a variety of mediums and techniques. Incorporating pop iconography with satirical commentary and anti-establishment values, D*Face questions the increasing turnover and bombardment of imagery by the media as well as how much (if any and what parts) we recall, digest and retain. Extracting elements from the endless stream of visual stimuli absorbed daily by our conscious and subconscious, the artist re-works and subverts imagery appropriated from comics, currency, corporate advertising, and cultural figures—drawing from decades of materialistic consumption in our media-saturated society.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
D*Face is a London-based sculptor and street artist. His artwork has been exhibited in galleries and on the streets of cities around the world. For over ten years, his wall stencils and three-dimensional urban interventions have tested public awareness and resistance when faced with visual alternatives to corruptive, persuasive commercial advertising. Reoccurring themes include: celebrity, fame, and mortality. The artist uses the term aPOPcalyptic to describe his work, which often features images of cultural icons as a commentary on conspicuous consumption in popular culture. D*Face’s early artistic inspirations include pop artists such as Lichtenstein, Haring and Warhol. Additional influences include: punk music, graffiti, skateboarding and skate magazines featuring graphic artists like Jim Philips and Pushead.
