Strike When Your Enemy Is Weak – Ghost

Strike While Your Enemy Is Weak is a powerful contemporary artwork by Ghost, inspired by the cult television series Peaky Blinders. The piece depicts a sharply styled gangster figure reminiscent of Thomas Shelby, captured in stark monochrome with Ghost’s signature urban edge.

Executed using layered mixed-media techniques, the artwork features a cracked surface effect pierced with real bullet casings, creating both physical depth and symbolic tension. The distressed detailing, combined with bold street-art minimalism, reflects themes of power, strategy and vulnerability — a recurring narrative within Ghost’s work.

Presented in an ornate, hand-finished frame, Strike While Your Enemy Is Weak is a statement piece designed to command attention in contemporary interiors, media rooms and collector spaces.

Available exclusively through Windermere Fine Art Gallery, this limited edition Ghost artwork exemplifies the fusion of street culture, popular iconography and fine art craftsmanship.
