About the Item

Jasper Leadbeater, Caine is Carter, 2024 Mixed media Edition of 12 58 x 70 cm (22.83 x 27.56 in) Sustainability has become the main drive behind the work I create, to make something unique out of what would otherwise be waste. Tens of thousands of shells are used on average per day, per shooting school across the whole of the UK. Due to the cost and lengthy procedure of separating the plastic from the metal, the spent shells are usually burnt, or put into landfill. A powerful homage to Michael Caine in his most iconic role as Jack Carter from the 1971 British gangster classic Get Carter. This bold portrait is crafted entirely from upcycled shotgun shell casings, forming a striking black-and-white image of Carter mid-action, gun drawn, eyes cold with vengeance. Set against a backdrop of gleaming brass shells and punctuated with the film’s bold yellow title text, this artwork is a masterful fusion of cinematic nostalgia and contemporary urban art. The recycled materials lend texture, weight, and meaning — turning weapons of violence into a tribute to British film history. Ideal for collectors of Michael Caine memorabilia, British noir, or industrial mixed media, this piece captures the ruthless charm and cool menace of a screen legend.

"Ben-day Sophia 1" Mixed media, Acrylic, spray paint, pigmented ink 36x28 canvas
By Ceravolo
Located in Southampton, NY
"Benday Sophia 1" pays tribute to those paintings that became the trademark of Ceravolo's unique and trend setting style of painting. His work is collected worldwide and is in many important collections including, Sir Elton John, Rod Stewart, Hugh Hefner and Prince Jefri of Brunei to name only a few. In addition to those, his paintings came to popular attention when he was commissioned to create 5 large scale paintings for the lobby of The Palladium Theatre in New York City. In this painting, Ceravolo has featured an image of his pop art painting of Sophia Loren, and combined it with a pattern of benday dots to create the basis of "Benday Sophia 1". He then paints his trademark brush strokes and textures on the canvas over the pop art portrait. Then, he paints the "floating" illusion that creates the 3d floating effect he is known for. The Canvas measures 36x28".
