Used & unique postage stamps
Having spent over 15 years in Marketing, Surrey-based artist Charlie took the opportunity to
leave the corporate world behind him to become a full-time dad to his two young boys.
Creative at heart and intrigued by the story and journey behind each stamp, Charlie’s work
celebrates the iconic image of Queen Elizabeth II through a series of pieces created with
hundreds of used stamps – each one unique and battle-worn, with postage marks giving
clues of their travels across the U.K.
Created with stamps spanning over 70 years – from the 1960’s to the 2020’s – each artwork
is a unique one-off.
The accumulated distance each artwork has travelled – is equivalent to five times
the circumference of the world.
The iconic ‘Machin’ image of Queen Elizabeth II is the most reproduced image in the
world and has been reproduced over 300 billion times.

- Self PortraitLocated in Palm Desert, CAA set of four (4) holograms by Chuck Close. "Self Portrait" is a set of four (4) self portraits in blues and blacks by contemporary American artist Chuck Close. The work is numbered CC(13)4 and is editioned 13/23 with 2 PPs. The holograms are unsigned. The dimensions listed are for each of the four (4) holograms, and they are framed separately. Chuck Close is an American painter and photographer who achieved fame as a photorealist, through his massive-scale portraits. Though a catastrophic spinal artery collapse in 1988 left him severely paralyzed, he has continued to paint and produce work that remains sought after by museums and collectors. Throughout his career, Close has endeavored to expand his contribution to portraiture through the mastery of such varied drawing and painting techniques as ink, graphite, pastel, watercolor, conte´ crayon, finger painting, and stamp-pad ink on paper; printmaking techniques, such as Mezzotint, etching, woodcuts, linocuts, and silkscreens; as well as handmade paper collage, Polaroid photographs, Daguerreotypes, and Jacquard tapestries. His early airbrush techniques inspired the development of the ink jet printer. Working from a gridded photograph, Close builds his images by applying one careful stroke after another in multi-colors or grayscale. He works methodically, starting his loose but regular grid from the left hand corner of the canvas. His works are generally larger than life and highly focused. Close has been a printmaker throughout his career, with most of his prints published by Pace Editions, New York. He made his first serious foray into print making in 1972, when he moved himself and family to San Francisco to work on a mezzotint at Crown Point Press for a three-month residency. In 1986 he went to Kyoto to work with Tadashi Toda, a highly respected woodblock printer. In 1995, curator Colin Westerbeck used a grant from the Lannan Foundation to bring Close together with Grant Romer, director of conservation at the George Eastman House. The artist has also continued to explore difficult photographic processes such as daguerreotype in collaboration with Jerry Spagnoli and sophisticated modular/cell-based forms such as tapestry. Close’s photogravure portrait of artist Robert Rauschenberg, “Robert” (1998), appeared in a 2009 exhibition at the Heckscher Museum of Art in Huntington, New York, featuring prints from Universal Limited Art Editions. In the daguerreotype photographs, the background defines the limit of the image plane as well as the outline of the subject, with the inky pitch-black setting off the light, reflective quality of the subject’s face.
