Jasper Leadbeater: Shooting Icons

Making a name for himself through use of an unconventional medium, artist Jasper Leadbeater brings a contemporary and striking direction to the field of pop-art. Using discarded Shotgun shells, Jasper intricately builds bold, shining backdrops. His work spans icons from cinema and music, as well as interrogating the tradition of shooting game. 

A self-taught artist, Jaspers command of hand-drawn and hand-cut stencils and spray paint allow for immaculate detail. His passion for cinema shines through icons from the films of Guy Richie and Quentin Tarantino.
