ABOUT THE ART
The D*Face × Ron English collaborative figure merges two of contemporary street art’s most recognizable visual languages into a single striking sculptural object. The piece features D*Face’s iconic “winged helmet” character fused seamlessly with Ron English’s notorious skeletal “Grin,” creating a hybrid form that is equal parts mischievous, confrontational, and darkly humorous.
Rendered in metallic tones with contrasting golden wings and a polished chrome-like skull face, the figure embodies the tension between iconography and subversion that both artists explore in their respective practices. The pyramid base elevates the character—literally and symbolically—suggesting a monolithic presence rooted in cultural mythology and consumer critique.
This collaboration highlights the natural synergy between D*Face’s punk-infused pop motifs and Ron English’s satirical pop-surrealism. English’s trademark "Grin" introduces an unsettling twist to D*Face’s usually bold and graphic aesthetic, transforming the familiar winged emblem into an ominous, almost deity-like figure. The merging of their techniques—D*Face’s clean lines and angular forms with English’s textured, toothy exaggeration—creates a sculptural dialogue about fame, propaganda, and the commercialization of identity. It stands as a playful yet sharp commentary on how visual symbols evolve as they pass through different creative hands.
As a collectible, the figure captures a moment of crossover between two major forces in the designer-toy and street-art worlds. Released in a limited edition, it reflects the increasingly collaborative nature of contemporary urban art while providing collectors with a piece that embodies both artists’ most enduring themes: rebellion, satire, and the transformation of cultural icons. The result is a visually arresting object that feels at once familiar and entirely new—an emblem of artistic fusion and the power of reinterpretation.
