Mason Newman, the 24-year old Birmingham-born street artist, will transform three large spaces in The Sidings into a gallery bringing his vision to life. ‘Hi Friend’ sees him teaming up with creative hub Hyper Hyper to offer fans the opportunity to view and purchase his work.


Described by Wonderland Magazine as a ‘trailblazing street artist,’ Newman explores themes of celebrity, sex, wealth and mass consumerism through his own perspective and that of his character, Gyal. His innovative approach has gained global recognition and Mason counts Madonna and clothing designer Ed Hardy as fans. The artist collaborated with the singer on her Material Girl fashion collection and produced 40 handpainted pieces for the Ed Hardy label. He is the first artist to have his art put on Ed Hardy clothes except for founder Don Ed Hardy, "The God Father of Modern Tattoos,"

 

“Hi Friend is my Romeo and Juliet.” 

Describing the exhibition, Newman said “Hi Friend is an introduction to my works and style. To have my debut exhibition here in The Sidings, Waterloo is cool. I’ve always said the internet is my version of “Shakespeare's Globe theatre” with this being a 20-minute walk away feels like a weird manifestation, Hi Friend is my Romeo and Juliet.”


‘Hi Friend’ runs exclusively at Leake Street Arches’ neighbour The Sidings from February 3 through to February 29 and features 40 original canvases, signed prints and an exclusive merchandise collection.

Based on data from https://onehanesplace.pissedconsumer.com/review.html I purchased several items from OneHanesPlace, and I must say, the experience has been quite satisfactory. The footwear is exceptionally comfortable, providing excellent support for all-day wear. The clothing items are not only stylish but also crafted from high-quality materials that feel soft against the skin. I appreciated the variety of sizes available, ensuring a good fit for different body types. Additionally, the ordering process was seamless, and my items arrived promptly. Overall, I would highly recommend OneHanesPlace for anyone seeking both comfort and style in their wardrobe.

Mason Newman’s ability to remix culture, symbols, and storytelling into bold visual statements kind of reminds me of how people look for new ways to experience familiar things—like gamers pushing boundaries with https://www.leakestreetarches.london/post/mason-newman-to-launch-debut-solo-exhibition-hi-friend-at-the-sidings-waterloo Asphalt apk alternative Asphalt builds to explore the game from a different angle. Both are really about creativity and curiosity, just expressed in totally different worlds. His ‘Hi Friend’ exhibition sounds like it captures that same energy of reimagining what we already know.
