Facesorfaces | Artist Spotlight

In October 2022, we teamed up with @facesorfaces, an artist whose work I had admired for a long time. Based in East London, his art is a celebration of humanity in all its complexity. His distinctive single-line faces, repeated and transformed across various mediums, challenge perceptions and spark conversations. What I love most about his work is how each face, though seemingly simple, holds layers of meaning, offering something new every time you look at it.

Facesorfaces is not only known for his mixed-media pieces but also for his roots in street art and graffiti. His inventive choice of canvases sets him apart - he’s brought his art to life on old road signs, tube maps, CCTV security cameras, and just about anything in between. Each surface adds a new dimension to his work, reinforcing the idea that art can live anywhere and speak to anyone. It’s this creativity and resourcefulness that make his pieces so striking and unforgettable.

Our collaboration was a multicolour design on a heavyweight oversized tee, and it remains one of my favourite projects to date. The design, featuring his signature faces, was bold and unapologetic - a perfect reflection of both his style and the Fixative ethos. Seeing the final product come to life was such a proud moment. It wasn’t just another graphic tee, it was a wearable piece of art that resonated deeply with our community.

Working with Facesorfaces has been a journey of mutual respect and creativity. He’s someone who’s constantly evolving, pushing his art into new territories while staying true to his core philosophy. That philosophy is that we are all unique yet connected, and that feels deeply aligned with what Fixative stands for. His art doesn’t just sit still; it moves, it grows, and it tells stories that you carry with you.

What makes this collaboration so meaningful is the connection we’ve built along the way. It’s not just about creating products but about sharing a vision. There’s an ease in how we work together, a trust that allows us to experiment and innovate. I think that’s why our collaborations feel so authentic - they come from a place of genuine admiration for each other’s work.

Facesorfaces has this incredible ability to capture something universal and distill it into a single, powerful image. Whether it’s on a canvas, a wall, a road sign, or a T-shirt, his art speaks volumes. And as a brand that values independent artistry and storytelling, partnering with him has been a natural and inspiring fit.

Thank you, @facesorfaces, for being such an important part of the Fixative story. I can’t wait to see where your creativity takes us next.
