You won't find this complete set of Banksy FCK PTN! stamps offered anywhere else in the world.
Marc Pairon is known, among others, for his worldwide bestseller 'ART DECO CERAMICS - Made in Belgium' (2006) and he has already published two successful art books on Banksy: 'BANKSY THE WALLED OFF ART EDITIONS ARE SOLD OUT!' (2021) and 'BANKSY IN UKRAINE - F*CK PTN!' (2024). His third reference work on Banksy is in preparation: 'BANKSY IN PALESTINE'. Pairon-signed copies of his art book ‘BANKSY IN UKRAINE - F*CK PTN!’ have already sold at art auctions for more than €1,900, excluding auction fees. Some complete sets of 12 stamp sheets FCK PTN! by Banksy have already been sold for more than 8,000 euros!
Banksy's FCK PTN! art stamp was issued by Ukrposhta, the national postal company of Ukraine, on 24 February 2023, on the occasion of 1 year after the Russian invasion. The FCK PTN! stamp presents one of seven graffiti by British artist Banksy, created by him in Ukraine in 2022. The graffiti depicting a judoka sent to the knockout stage was painted by the artist on the wall of a destroyed house in the village of Borodyanka (Kyiv region). Marc Pairon has collaborated with Ukrposhta and Bagetnaya (the Ukrposhta framer) to create some limited series of the FCK PTN! Banksy art stamp issues to benefit rebuild-ua.world.
In the top left corner of each Banksy FCK PTN! art stamp sheet, the plate number is listed each time, as a reference which printing plate was used to create that particular sheet. There were 12 different printing plates. The ultimate complete series of FCK PTN! Banksy art stamps thus consists of the printing plate numbers from 1 to 12. Each stamp sheet comes in a special protective sleeve, signed on the back by Marc Pairon.
Numerous fake editions of Banksy are circulating. However, the FCK PTN! editions realised by Ukrposhta are rare legitimate limited editions approved by Banksy. One can find images of these editions on Banksy's own Instagram page.

Earlier, the foundation realised several humanitarian projects in Belgium, Palestine, Senegal and England.
