D*Face Reimagines Cinema Posters in Milan Exhibition
British street artist D*Face (born London, 1978) is the subject of a solo exhibition at Wunderkammern gallery in Milan, presenting a new body of work that interrogates Italian and American cultural binaries. The show features original film posters altered with paint, alongside his signature Digital Drawings—pencil works integrated with digital screens. Through skeletons and zombies superimposed onto idealized movie icons, D*Face challenges perceptions of cinema and the stereotypical images saturating contemporary society, using film and cartoons as escapist mediums. The exhibition includes the piece "Run Away HPM – Classic Red" (2020).
