First class postage stamp artist ventures into 3D items ahead of exhibition
A first class Hednesford artist is ringing the changes with a brand new series of 3D pieces covered in postage stamps including a telephone.
Peter Mason, known as the Post Pop Art Man, has graduated from flat pictures using stamps to creating entire objects including chairs and guitars covered in used stamps.
He said: "I am inspired by the Pop Art movement and particularly admire the works of Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol.
"My portraits and images are created by recycling postage stamps into pixelated images to create portraits and designs both figurative and non-representational."
Peter gets commissions from across the world and is currently creating a 3D version of a Porsche badge before taking on the iconic Alfa Romeo insignia.
However, local art fans will be able to see Peter's work at a special exhibition which opens to the public this summer.
He said: "I am preparing for a one-man exhibition at the Museum of Cannock Chase in August which will run until October."
