*APC ART is pleased to present “Heartbreak Highway” by legendary British street artist D*Face (AKA Dean Stockton).*

*Widely regarded as one of the most influential and recognizable urban contemporary artists of his generation, D*Face emerged during the formative years of the global street art movement alongside artists such as Banksy, Shepard Fairey, and Invader.*

*Importantly, D*Face was also one of the standout artists represented by Banksy’s now legendary Pictures On Walls publishing house — a roster that helped define an entire era of contemporary printmaking and street culture.*

*Over the last two decades, D*Face has built an international collector base through his unmistakable visual language — blending comic-book aesthetics, pop art, punk attitude, mortality symbolism, Americana, romance, satire, and dark humor into instantly recognizable compositions.*

*Stylistically, D*Face’s work is often compared to that of Roy Lichtenstein — particularly through the artist’s use of comic-book inspired imagery, bold contour lines, dramatic framing, and Ben-Day dot patterning.*

*Like Lichtenstein before him, D*Face utilizes the visual language of commercial printing and mid-century American comic illustration as both homage and critique. The halftone dot backgrounds, exaggerated facial expressions, and hyper-stylized narrative compositions immediately recall the visual vocabulary of classic pop art while simultaneously pushing it into a darker, more contemporary street-driven context.*

*“Heartbreak Highway” is an absolutely exceptional example of the imagery collectors aggressively pursue from D*Face.*

*The work depicts a beautifully rendered skeletal couple seated inside a classic red convertible — balancing romance, melancholy, nostalgia, glamour, mortality, and pop surrealism all within a single cinematic composition.*

*The juxtaposition between beauty and decay has become one of the artist’s most celebrated stylistic trademarks.*

*Executed with extraordinary precision, the composition features bold linework, vibrant color saturation, dramatic contrast, Ben-Day inspired halftone patterning, and the comic-inspired visual energy that has made D*Face one of the most important figures in contemporary street art.*

*The skeletal hands on the steering wheel and resting across the sleeping figure subtly reinforce the artist’s recurring themes surrounding mortality, fleeting youth, fame, love, and impermanence — all while maintaining a strangely glamorous and seductive atmosphere.*

*This is an exceptionally large and visually commanding work measuring approximately 70cm x 100cm (approximately 27.5” x 39.4”).*

*Executed as a stunning 29 color, hand-pulled silkscreen print on beautiful Lambeth 370gsm wove fine art paper, the work is hand signed and numbered by the artist in graphite pencil and bears the artist’s blind stamp.*

*Published by Underdogs Gallery in 2026, the edition was produced to commemorate the monumental mural D*Face executed in Lisbon, Portugal featuring this same iconic imagery.*

*The print immediately became one of the artist’s most sought after editions in recent memory.*

*The edition sold out in less than two minutes upon release.*

*Examples have become extraordinarily difficult to acquire on the secondary market.*

*At the time of this listing, this is the only example currently publicly available on the secondary market.*

*From the scale, subject matter, and technical execution to the incredible color palette and cinematic composition — this is undoubtedly one of the strongest D*Face editions released in years.*

*An absolutely iconic contemporary print and an exceptional long-term investment opportunity from one of the defining figures of the modern street art movement.*

*The work is in hand and available for immediate dispatch from the USA.*

*We are pleased to offer archival framing options for our global collector base.*
