Newcastle University Student Creates Unique Art for Mercury Prize

A Fine Art student has been commissioned to create 12 pieces of artwork for the Mercury Prize 2025.

Charlotte Brecken, a fourth-year Fine Art student at Newcastle University, has been given this opportunity as the prestigious music prize is hosted in the city for the first time in its history outside London.

Charlotte, who specializes 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 and on social media in the run-up to the main event at the Utilita Arena, Newcastle on Thursday, 16th October.

Charlotte is thrilled to be given this opportunity to showcase her artwork.

Charlotte started her own art business, Lottivics Art, while studying for her GCSEs.
