Description:

"Chaos can have charm — and danger, an unforgettable face."

In this portrayal of John Shelby, an iconic character from the Peaky Blinders series, the artist’s hand transforms the face into a fragment of enigma. The cigarette, the sharp contours, the hat casting shadows over his identity — all converge into an aura of raw rebellion and silent intensity.

Executed with pointillism and hatching on paper, the work reveals not only technical mastery but also a rare ability to capture the spirit of striking characters. Each dot is a narrative heartbeat, each shadow a layer of personality.

More than a portrait, this piece is a presence — ideal for those who appreciate urban art, pop culture, and the complexity of figures who live in the grey area between hero and villain.
