Published by Black Rat Press D*Face Dean Stockton Pop Tart Yellow Silkscreen Print 2007 The 2007 Pop Tart Yellow silkscreen print by British artist Dean Stockton, professionally known as D*Face, is a seminal example of his satirical take on Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. Measuring 30 x 29 inches and pulled by hand in seven colors on 410gsm Somerset Satin White paper, this limited edition of 125 was published by Black Rat Press, one of London’s most influential print studios for contemporary street artists. Each piece is signed and numbered by the artist in pencil along the lower edge, affirming its authenticity and collectible status. Iconography and Cultural Critique The imagery in Pop Tart Yellow is unmistakably drawn from Andy Warhol’s famous Marilyn Monroe portraits, yet DFace overlays the glamorous visage with his own irreverent twist. Marilyn’s face is partially transformed into a skull, with hollowed eyes and dripping paint effect that speaks to both the fragility of celebrity and the inevitability of decay. Wing-like cartoon details sprouting from her head add a surreal, satirical touch, a reminder of the way fame often elevates cultural figures to mythical status even as it dehumanizes them. This duality between beauty and mortality is a recurring theme in DFace’s practice, amplifying the critique of idolization and mass media’s manipulation of public perception. Technique and Execution Executed as a seven-color silkscreen, the work combines bold flat colors with the grittier textures of drips and distressed detailing. The canary yellow background heightens the pop art vibrancy while creating sharp contrast with the black skeletal overlay and Marilyn’s bright red lips. D*Face’s choice of Somerset Satin 410gsm paper underscores the print’s status as fine art, marrying street aesthetics with museum-quality execution. This approach reflects his ability to bring graffiti-inspired design into the gallery setting without losing the edge and immediacy that characterizes his outdoor interventions. D*Face’s Role in Contemporary Street Art Dean Stockton, born in London in 1978, has established himself as a central figure in the global street art movement, blending punk-inspired graphics, comic book aesthetics, and pop culture satire. His works often interrogate themes of fame, consumerism, love, and mortality, using recognizable cultural icons as vehicles for commentary. Pop Tart Yellow stands as a key example of his strategy to remix the imagery of Warhol and Monroe, figures who themselves embody the commodification of beauty and celebrity. By injecting darker undertones and irreverent humor, D*Face transforms a pop art classic into a piece that resonates with contemporary audiences while questioning the very foundations of fame-driven culture. This limited edition silkscreen remains one of his most iconic fine art releases, bridging his graffiti roots with the collectible print market.
