Exploring themes of faith, power and brotherhood, Jon Jones’s Made in Birmingham 2026 is inspired by the shadowed world of the famous Peaky Blinders. Through moments of restraint rather than action, Jones captures the figures caught in private states – thinking, waiting, believing. Painted in a black and white palette, the famous Birmingham gang characters take centre stage with the stark contrast of light and shadow, smoke and controlled light frames, emphasizing the raw emotion of the scenes.

Moving between solitude and unity, each artwork depicts quiet rituals: a cigarette held as pause, a threshold moment suspended in time, a prayer carried in silence – revealing the internal heavy weight of loyalty and authority. Such authority exists in stillness, silence and posture, alongside faith – Jones presents belief as personal and almost demanding, rather than performative or public - an internal compass that must translate into action, responsibility, and compassion.

In the iconic Jon Jones’s style, darkness and light function as narrative devices. The figures emerge briefly from the shadows before receding again – a thoughtful choice to mirror how identity, belief and power surface only in moments of necessity.
