2025

Jasper Leadbeater, New Management, 2024 Upcycled shotgun shells and spray paint 58 x 70 cm (22.8 x 27.56 in) Edition of 6 This powerful artwork pays tribute to Arthur Shelby, one of the most unforgettable characters from the cult series Peaky Blinders. Created entirely from upcycled shotgun shell casings, the portrait captures Arthur’s intense, brooding energy – whisky in hand, his gaze sharp, his presence unmistakable. The golden brass shell backdrop contrasts with the monochrome figure, lending depth and a raw industrial texture that echoes the grit of 1920s Birmingham and the dark, violent beauty of the Peaky Blinders universe. This piece is both a work of art and a homage to British television’s most notorious gangster family. Professionally framed in a brushed metallic frame, Arthur Shelby is ideal for collectors of urban contemporary art, fans of Cillian Murphy’s iconic series, and anyone drawn to bold, statement pieces.

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.

The transformation of reclaimed ammunition into a cinematic icon speaks to themes of strength, vengeance, and transformation—core to Tarantino’s masterpiece. The metallic sheen of the shell casings adds depth and texture, bringing the character’s intensity to life in a way that blends pop culture, urban art, and industrial craftsmanship. Perfect for collectors of film memorabilia, contemporary mixed media, and urban pop art, this one-of-a-kind piece is both a celebration of Tarantino’s visual storytelling and a bold design statement.
