D*FACE - A Street Artist from London

Dean Stockton is better known as D*Face; is a play on the word "deface" which is how many view the art of street artists in general when it shows up on public property. In that sense, Stockton plays directly into the public opinion that street artists 'deface property'. While that may be true street artists such as D*Face also contribute to society even if their actions may be considered legally destructive depending on how they convey their artistic vision on a surface.
D*Face is an artist who has contributed a message one that raises questions about consumerism and the glorification and stereotypes of cultural icons. One could say that these status symbols have become a sense of false-identity for individuals seeking to discover themselves when in reality they are lost in the same sea of consumer assimilation that everyone else appears to be swimming in. In a sense, D*Face captures the idea that consumerism unto itself is a form of social decay even if the items come in a shiny new package.
