HEADS OF STATE
Celebrate power, presence, and contemporary artistry with a luxury boxed note card collection inspired by the thought-provoking portrait work of Gavin Benjamin. Created in collaboration with Junebug Ink, this distinctive stationery set brings Benjamin’s celebrated visual language to the written page. Sophisticated, conversation-starting, and culturally resonant, these note cards are designed for those who appreciate art that challenges convention while honoring individuality.
This luxury boxed set features six imagery inspired by Benjamin’s acclaimed Heads of State series, known for portraits that evoke figures of influence, celebrity, and authority while intentionally obscuring or altering facial features. The resulting works invite viewers to reconsider assumptions about identity, status, and recognition. Enhanced by Benjamin’s signature use of embellishment, texture, and mixed-media techniques, each design balances elegance with intrigue, creating note cards that are as compelling as the messages written inside them.
Cultural Significance:
The Heads of State series explores how society assigns value, power, and meaning to public figures and visual representation. By distorting or removing familiar facial features, Benjamin shifts attention from celebrity and appearance to symbolism, presence, and perception. His work encourages deeper reflection on identity and influence while celebrating the creative possibilities of portraiture. This collection translates those ideas into a refined stationery experience that sparks curiosity, conversation, and meaningful connection.
