Everybody, Including D*Face, Wants To Save The World

Just like the 80s song by Tear for Fears right? Oh, wait, they sang “rule the world”, not “save the world”, didn’t they? Ah, perhaps its a reference to the song by Swedish House Mafia.

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?
