August 16, 2015 butterfly 1 Comment

CAC Málaga, in collaboration with the British Council, recently opened up the first solo exhibition in Spain from D*Face (see the studio visit here). The London-based artist’s work was seen for the first time in Málaga in 2013 when he created an immense mural for the MAUS Project (covered) along with Shepard Fairey. Wasted Youth is his first solo exhibition for a museum, and includes 40 works created during his 15 year long career, some of which are on show for the very first time.

Featuring paintings, screenprints, sculptures, stencils as well as a huge skeleton installation, the show is currently on view through September 27th and is running alongside Fairey’s Your Eyes Here (covered).
