In any event D*Face was in Brooklyn last week to complete a large splash of interspliced pop imagery drawn from your favorite graphic novel, resplendent in hot pop hues and commanding us with a pointed finger to save the world.

Fresh from his current solo show ‘F̶o̶r̶n̶e̶v̶e̶r̶’ that is now running at Galerie Itinerrance in Paris, the London based artist has refined a visual vocabulary that has become instantly recognizeable to his fans, even if the sentiments may not be instantly self-evident. That’s the beauty of art on the streets, or anywhere; it’s open to your interpretation.
In fact there are many things we can do to save the world. We know how, we have the ability. Will we?
