Born 1999, Mason Newman is a British contemporary artist from Birmingham (UK) whose work exists at the intersection of street culture, music heritage and graphic rebellion. His visual language is raw, layered and unapologetically bold — built from distressed textures, frenetic mark-making and subcultural symbolism that mirrors the underground scenes that shaped him.
Mason's ascent has been driven by a series of high-impact collaborations with major names in fashion and culture. His partnership with Ed Hardy placed him inside one of fashion’s most recognisable visual universes, where he reinterpreted iconic tattoo motifs through his own lens. With Aries, he created artwork that locked perfectly into the brand’s skate-influenced, anti-establishment DNA.
Recognised for his rising influence, Mason Newman was named in the 2024 Forbes '30 Under 30' list which served as nod to his impact across art, fashion and music; and a clear marker of his growing cultural footprint.
Newman’s creative reach then hit a new culturally stride in 2025, becoming the official brand merchandise artist for Black Sabbath's reunion tour. He also created official merchandise for his childhood icon Ozzy Osbourne, where the artwork dived straight into the darker, theatrical core of rock iconography. These collaborations cement his ability to move effortlessly between scenes — fashion, music, art — without ever softening the attitude that defines his practice.
Most recently, Mason launched a major collaborative capsule with Topman, bringing his street-influenced aesthetic to a global fashion audience and further solidifying his crossover impact.
Mason Newman has exhibited internationally with Creed Gallery, showcasing his work in cultural hubs such as Marbella and Monaco, as well as across the UK in London and Ascot. These exhibitions have positioned him in front of a wide audience of collectors, tastemakers, and culture-led creative communities.
Driven by instinct, emotion, and experimental layering, Newman builds compositions that feel turbulent but intentional — capturing the tension, rebellion and electric pulse of contemporary identity. As one of the UK’s most compelling emerging voices, his influence continues to expand across multiple platforms.
