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. Gee has little interest in traditional stamp collecting 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.
