Mason Newman Original Art: “The Depressed Generation | Hermès” | Forbes 30 Under 30

The Depressed Generation | Hermès” is an original mixed-media work by acclaimed British artist Mason Newman. Blending the high-fashion aesthetic of Hermès with the clinical reality of pharmaceutical packaging, Newman creates a striking commentary on modern consumerism and the state of the “depressed generation.”

About the Piece

In this series, Mason Newman decontextualises the iconic Hermès orange bag—a symbol of global luxury—as a prescription blister pack. By merging the language of aspiration with the reality of mental health treatment, Newman delivers a message that is both uncomfortable and profoundly relatable. His signature distressed texture and bold, street-art style make this a must-have for contemporary art collectors.
