Exhibition – D*FACE – Metro Gallery – Melbourne

You knew it was coming, you’ve seen bits and pieces of his work popping up in Metro every so often and it was only a matter of time – and now, finally, we’ll get to see his show next week.

We consider D*FACE is being one of those street artists who is at the top of their game, and still soaring. Taking his cross-referenced pop iconography and spinning it 180degrees to the skewed side, his work is honed and refined to a cultural digging point. We’re huge fans here, and we hope that this visit by him next week brings engenders even more interest amongst us humble antipodeans for his work, big or small.

“Metro Gallery is excited to present D*Face’s first solo exhibition with the Gallery. The London street artist, known for his fluorescent prints, dark portraits, and interpretations of popular culture, has presented numerous sell-out exhibitions around the globe. D*Face’s 2011 exhibition at Metro Gallery will bring the artist’s bright, bold and comical style to Melbourne. While the artist is most commonly recognised for his collaboration with pop singer Christina Aguilera on her ‘Bionic’ album cover, amongst street art-enthusiasts, D*Face represents the avant-garde of street art, pushing boundaries in and outside of the gallery.”

We also heard rumour that some of the work in the show will feature collaborations with the amazing UK artist Mysterious Al – so it all sounds absolutely mad to us, and we can’t wait.
