A collectible piece that combines contemporary art, philately, and Ukrainian contemporary history: The framed stamp set “ПТН ПНХ! – FCK PTN!” presents a world-famous Banksy motif and was issued by the Ukrainian Post Ukrposhta as an official commemorative stamp.
The stamp appeared on 24 February 2023, exactly one year after the start of the Russian large-scale attack on Ukraine. With this issue, Ukrposhta drew on one of Banksy’s best-known motifs from Ukraine and sent a clear message of resistance and resilience of the country.
The issue was conceived from the outset as a charity edition. From the sale price of a sheet of stamps amounting to 180 UAH, 42 UAH went to charitable causes. The funds raised were used for the reconstruction and equipment of educational facilities that had been damaged or destroyed by Russian missile attacks.
The depicted motif was created in November 2022 in Borodyanka, a city heavily scarred by war northwest of Kyiv. Banksy produced a stencil graffiti there on a damaged building wall. It shows a young boy in a judogi throwing a clearly larger adult judoka to the ground. The motif is widely understood as a symbolic representation of the struggle between Ukraine and Russia: the boy stands for Ukraine, while the adult figure is associated with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who also practices judo and wears a black belt.
The choice of venue is as significant as the motif itself. Borodyanka was heavily destroyed during the Russian invasion. Banksy deliberately placed his art in this war-scarred environment, linking his characteristic political imagery with the reality of war.
With the commemorative stamp, Ukrposhta made the originally street-art–born work accessible to a broad audience. The stamp set was issued in 2023 and comprises six stamps on a sheet. The issue is complemented by the accompanying envelope and a postcard, which also feature the Banksy motif. Thus, it is not just a single stamp but a cohesive collector’s ensemble from the official Ukrainian postal issue.
For presentation, a handmade ash frame was used, black-stained and subsequently matte clear-coated. The frame measures a total of 550 × 450 mm and has a frame cross-section of 33 × 18 mm. A precisely crafted passepartout with an inner size of 340 × 270 mm separates the exhibit from the black card background.
