The museum is deligted to welcome back local professional artist, Peter Mason. His work is based on a Pop Art style combined with a modern contemporary approach, using recycled postage stamps in the form of GB Machin definitive postage stamps. His technique bears historical references to ancient Roman mosaics brought up to date with more modern digital imagery.
Each image is created by using variations and shades and sizes of stamps, creating different shadows and depths. Viewed from a distance, your eye will naturally merge the colours together, making a much sharper image. Many post-impressionist artists such as Georges Seurat worked in this way, using dots of paint.
Subjects range from The Queen and Royal family, David Bowie and Peaky Blinders, from modern poster design through to optical and geometric illusion and pattern. He is offering affordable half price canvases in this special exhibition, so that you can purchase a first class image for your own wall!
