Mason Newman | Black Sabbath Angel (Pink)

Mason Newman (b. 2000)
Black Sabbath Angel (Pink)
Mixed media on canvas | Original

Mason Newman — Forbes 30 Under 30, 2024 — has built his practice around the productive friction between sacred imagery and secular culture. The angel is one of art history's most enduring figures: a being of divine origin, traditionally rendered in gold and white, associated with transcendence and protection. Newman places it in the context of Black Sabbath — one of the founding acts of heavy metal, a genre that has consistently used transgressive and occult imagery — and produces, in the Pink variant, a work that is simultaneously beautiful and unresolved.

The official collaboration with Black Sabbath gives these works a dual provenance: they are artworks by one of the most significant young British painters currently working, and cultural objects authenticated by one of the most influential rock bands in history. For collectors in Berkshire, Surrey, and London who move between the worlds of contemporary art and music culture, this is a uniquely positioned acquisition.

Available through Creed Gallery, Ascot. Private viewings by appointment.
