The Black Patch

Hand-signed Flatbed Giclée Limited Edition by Jon Jones.

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.

‘Black Patch’ is at the heart of the collection. Depicting a group image of the three brothers, the artwork was inspired by Jones’s personal history rooted in Perrott Street, beside the Black Patch in Birmingham – giving the artwork a real and symbolic origin point. The artwork aims to represent the brotherhood as inheritance: unity shaped by circumstance, hierarchy understood without words, and allegiance formed long before power is exercised.

The Birmingham artist invites us into the moments before action - where brotherhood becomes destiny, faith becomes obligation, and power is maintained as much through restraint as through force.

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.
