This dramatic portrait montage showcases Jeffrey's masterful command of television iconography. The artwork features key characters from "Peaky Blinders," with Cillian Murphy's Tommy Shelby prominently featured alongside other family members, rendered in striking monochromatic tones with bold red accents.
 
Jeffrey's distinctive style is evident in his precise rendering and sophisticated handling of light and shadow. His careful attention to each character's defining features - from Tommy's signature cap to the vintage automobiles - creates a piece that perfectly captures both the gritty atmosphere and stylish aesthetic of the acclaimed series.
 
About The Artist
Ben Jeffrey, born in 1986 in Barnet, north London, discovered his artistic calling early in life, inspired by his family connection to renowned 18th-century watercolorist John Varley. His passion for art flourished during secondary school, where informal portrait competitions with classmates helped develop his skills.
 
Though formally educated in art through university level, Jeffrey's distinctive technique is largely self-taught, developing through experimentation with oil paints and color. His process typically involves two stages: establishing base colors across the canvas, followed by detailed layering, with compositions that evolve organically during creation.
 
Jeffrey's diverse portfolio spans portraits and landscapes, characterized by vivid colors and a modern style influenced by his love of sci-fi films and concept art. Drawing inspiration from the stunning landscapes of Herefordshire and the Isle of Harris, where his family has homes, he combines traditional oil painting techniques with contemporary vision.
Despite exploring digital art, Jeffrey remains committed to traditional oils, believing in their unmatched depth and tactile quality.
