Jasper Leadbeater, Be the Chicken, 2025
Upcycled shotgun shells and spray paint
58 x 70 cm (22.8 x 27.56 in)
Edition of 6
This vibrant and humorous artwork captures one of the most unforgettable moments from Guy Ritchie’s hit Netflix series The Gentlemen—Freddie dressed as a chicken, mid-rant and shotgun in hand. Painstakingly constructed from upcycled shotgun shell casings, this piece brings bold colour, texture, and attitude to any space.
The contrast of vivid reds, yellows, and oranges against a golden backdrop of brass casings adds both visual impact and a playful nod to British dark comedy. Equal parts satirical and cinematic, Freddie the Chicken transforms ammunition into art, perfectly blending urban grit with pop culture charm. A must-have for collectors of contemporary mixed media, urban art, or fans of Guy Ritchie, The Gentlemen, and Freddie's cult-classic chaos.

Jasper is completely self taught. Having started his journey with a background in fine art and a passion for drawing, years of pencil commissions soon followed and became the foundations of what was to come. Curiosity led him to experiment with shotgun shells and he created the Ho Chi Minh piece in 2014, under the theme of 'War and Peace'. Having refined this unique medium over the years, immersion in the countryside gave inspiration to his first collection of works; combining the traditional country sport of shooting game with a contemporary approach to animal portraiture, creating original pieces using intricately hand-drawn and hand-cut stencils with spray paint. Progress and experimentation has led Jasper to focus his recent works on pop culture references and cinematic icons.

This powerful artwork pays tribute to Arthur Shelby, one of the most unforgettable characters from the cult series Peaky Blinders.
