NEW YORK – D*Face posted new murals in Brooklyn in connection with his just completed show with the Corey Helford Gallery. One of Britain’s original street artists, D*Face has a graphic style that nods toward Roy Lichtenstein and reflects a love of punk rock and skate boarding.

These recent murals draw on the themes of love, loss and longing and feature bold cartoon-like characters including a variation on the grim reaper. Not only do they play with pop culture, but they also demonstrate D*Face’s sharp sense of humor.

While the artist has had gallery-success around the world, he retains his interest in creating street art where his pieces force interactions and he’s not constrained by the gallery setting.

At Broadway and Bedford, Handle with Care displays a woman sobbing over a crate labeled with the painting’s title. She holds a giant version of D*Face’s vinyl stickers and one of his symbols is painted into her hair. The giant mural will be on view for the rest of the month.

Grim Tales, on 158 Roebling, between Fillmore Place and Metropolitan Avenue, will be permanent. His Grim Reaper tosses a set of die that are actually 3-D, and drilled into the wall.
