About this artwork
Postage Stamp Collage
Terence Stamp was one of my first heroes usually playing masterful film roles. His dramatic style and moody looks led to my creating this portrait, which is one of my earlier stamp portraits. Born in 1939, he was one of the most recognizable faces of 1960s British cinema. During that decade, he became famous on the screen and off, as a leading man and a poster boy for the swinging Sixties lifestyle. He made his film debut in… 1962 as the martyred hero in Peter Ustinov's, Billy Budd, earning him an Oscar nomination and establishing him as part of a new wave of talent in British cinema. The portrait is composed of approximately 3500 British definitive used postage stamps

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.
