Guy Gee

Guy Gee is a London based artist working primarily in sculpture, set and interior design.

Having worked on TV advertisements for Coca-Cola, Cadbury's and Marks & Spencer, Gee branched off to start his own studio in 2018.

Surprisingly, Gee has little interest in stamp collecting in the traditional sense but having stumbled across a Japanese stamp from the 1890s an obsession quickly set in. The "Terence Stamp" project had begun: the reimagining of postage stamps by digital revision and enlargement. The commissions and requests that followed soon covered stamps from other countries around the world. Gee has now worked with the stamps of over 200 nations, islands, states and cities. In 2021 he was approached by Stanley Gibbons, “the home of stamp collecting”, for a collaboration; reproducing the world’s most expensive postage stamp - the One Cent Magenta - which they had recently purchased at Sotheby’s New York for $8.3million.

The themes of travel and geography continue throughout his work and remain apparent with his most recent project, "Landmass Mirrors". Gee plans for these topics to remain the inspiration of his work for many projects to come.

Pantography was established in 2015 by London-based artist Guy Gee, drawing inspiration from the ancient Greek pantograph; a tool historically used to scale drawings. Notably, pantographs played a key role in producing the world's first postage stamps, introduced in England in 1840. This innovation sparked a global revolution in communication, with nations swiftly adopting and personalising the concept. As one of the earliest forms of mass media graphic design, stamps have long served as a canvas for cultural storytelling.

Gee's ambition is to create an artwork representing every country in the world. Each artwork is realised by extensively researching thousands of stamps and then selecting one to reinterpret. These intricately engraved miniatures are then enlarged and digitally reimagined, offering a fresh, contemporary perspective on their original designs.

Over the past decade, Gee has meticulously refined the collection, working with over 300 stamps from nations, states, and capitals. This body of work is a celebration of heritage, geography, travel, and the art of communication.
