God Save the Stamps — and the Neon

This is not a painting. It is an event. Buy British takes the iconic "God Save the Queen" imagery and reimagines it entirely — built from British postage stamps spanning the Victorian era to the modern day, including rare elements such as the historic Two Penny Blue. Every stamp is a fragment of British history; together, they form something extraordinary.

A Frame Like No Other

Surrounding the stamp composition is a custom frame constructed from toys, coins, costume jewellery, and buttons, all unified with a gold finish. And then there is the centrepiece: a pink LED neon "Buy British" element, powered by a 12V system and supplied with a UK adaptor, that transforms the work from a painting into a fully illuminated installation. It is witty, provocative, and utterly original.

The Ultimate Collector's Statement Piece

At 53 × 35 inches overall, Buy British is a room-defining work — the kind of piece that becomes the conversation in any space it inhabits. Designed for serious collectors and contemporary interiors where bold, culturally resonant art is valued above all else. One of a kind. Impossible to replicate.
