From the journey of Mary & Joseph on their journey to Bethlehem, to the angels announcing the good news to the shepherds in the feeds, then visiting Mary & Jesus, and finally the wise men travelling to see the new King that has been born.
Following the success of the 2019 paper-cut stamps, the Royal Mail wanted an artist with an unusual style or use of materials.
The stamps were designed by Argentinian artist Jorge Cocco, who is now in his 80s, paints in a style he calls ‘sacrocubist’ – a way of illustrating sacred events with the stylings of the post-cubist movement.
Cocco’s style essentializes Biblical narratives with vibrant colours and forms that invite viewers into new dialogues with familiar stories.
Do they give you a new perspective on the Christmas story?
