Biography

Artist background

Mason Newman is a contemporary British artist whose work mixes irreverent humour with the anxieties, compulsions and contradictions of modern life. His imagery borrows freely from cartoons, advertising, popular culture and the visual language of the internet.

Feet, devils, pills, cigarettes, fast food and familiar childhood imagery recur throughout the work, often twisted into something more adult and psychologically uncomfortable. The humour is immediate, but underneath it sits a persistent interest in desire, addiction, identity and the pressure of contemporary culture.

Rather than separating comedy from darker subject matter, Newman uses one to sharpen the other. The resulting paintings can feel funny, inappropriate and unsettling at exactly the same time.
