About this artwork
I have always had an interest in the American comic book for its vivid colours and dynamic subject matter. More recently I have developed my style of graphic art to create postage stamp images of a variety of iconic heroes. This used postage stamp image depicts Spiderman who was created when Peter Parker contracted a massive bite from an irradiated spider which gave him his super powers. Using his powers initially to become a T.V. star he realised…
that great power entails great responsibility. He has super reflexes and speed combined with super human strength and an inbuilt ‘spider sense’ which warns him of personal danger. Here, he is seen above the City extending his web towards you, his audience inviting you into the picture to share his adventures. This picture is composed of approximately 2500 used postage stamps. It is not framed and should not be displayed in direct sunlight although all canvases are varnished twice and have a coat of U.V. protection.

Peter Mason, originally a passionate art educator, morphs unique British definitive recycled postage stamps no longer available. Featuring the late Queen Elizabeth the stamps are styled into unique collage masterpieces, drawing on Pop Art influences like Warhol and Lichtenstein, often paying tribute to other fashionable artists. His technique involves meticulously assembling the stamps to form pixelated portraits and scenes, a nod to historical mosaic and pointillism traditions, reborn through a more modern perspective. His artworks exude a vibrant celebration of culture and iconography, urging his audience to view familiar imagery with renewed perception and awe.
