Mason Newman | The Depressed Generation | Selfridges

Creed Gallery Ascot is proud to present 'The Depressed Generation' by the highly influential, 2024 Forbes 30 Under 30 artist Mason Newman. This striking piece is a masterclass in Pop-Satire, utilizing the artist’s signature "raw and layered" mixed-media style.

Newman applies acrylic and spray paint directly onto an iconic Selfridges yellow branded bag, transforming a symbol of high-end retail into a powerful vessel for graphic rebellion. This work explores the friction between the luxury commodity and the overstimulated internal world of the modern era, a recurring theme in Newman's "New Pop" aesthetic.

As a standout example of modern urban art, this framed original pulses with visual energy. The contrast between the familiar corporate branding and Newman’s frenetic, hand-painted mark-making creates a high-impact centerpiece. It captures the tension of a generation navigating the heights of commercialism and the depths of contemporary identity, making it a must-have for serious collectors of investment-grade street art.

This original work is available exclusively through Creed Gallery Ascot. We offer bespoke art advisory for our clientele across Sunningdale, Wentworth, and Windsor, as well as the wider Berkshire, Surrey, and London regions.
