Newcastle University Student Creates Unique Art for Mercury Prize
A Fine Art student has been commissioned to provide 12 pieces of artwork as part of this year’s Mercury Prize 2025.
Charlotte Brecken, a fourth-year Fine Art student at Newcastle University, has been given this unique opportunity as the prestigious music prize is hosted in the city. This is the first time in its history that the Mercury Prize has been held outside London.
Charlotte, who specialises in miniature artworks, has created versions of each album’s cover art on rail tickets, which will be presented to the 12 shortlisted artists.
The artworks have been used as part of the wider Mercury Prize fringe events, which have been taking place across the region and on social media in the run-up to the main event at the city’s Utilita Arena, Newcastle.
Charlotte, who started her own art business, Lottivics Art, while studying for her GCSEs, is thrilled to be given this opportunity to showcase her artwork.
