Ed Sheeran showcases debut collection of Jackson Pollock-esque art
The abstract pieces - colourful Jackson Pollock-esque paintings and prints - will be available to buy, with profits going to the Ed Sheeran Foundation, which supports musical education in schools.
They are also set to be exhibited at Heni art gallery in central London from Friday 11 July until Friday 1 August, with the collection called Cosmic Carpark Paintings, the gallery said.
Sheeran, 34, behind hits like Shape of You and Perfect, took to social media earlier this week to share the news, explaining he worked on the paintings last year in between shows.
He also shared a video of his painting process at work, showing him splashing large canvases with brightly coloured paint.
'I love painting, more for fun and to give to friends, but this time I was encouraged to do a show of them by @damienhirst and @heni,' he posted on Instagram.
'I paint when I'm not working on a record, just to do something creative with my brain. And it's mostly just splashing colours on canvases, think Jackson Pollock but with colourful house paint.'
Sheeran added that does not make him 'an artist' but noted that he loves 'making art' and that 'it makes me feel great, and I love the end result'.
Heni, which said Sheeran's 'painting journey' began in 2019 following his record-breaking Divide tour, noted he used one of his earlier creations as the official artwork for his single Afterglow in 2020.
The colourful pieces in his debut collection were 'inspired by celestial patterns' and painted in a disused London car park last year, it added.
Singer, songwriter, and performer Sheeran is one of the most listened to artists in the world.
He also makes the list of the 40 richest people under 40 in the UK, with a fortune estimated at £370 million, according to The Sunday Times' latest annual wealth rankings of Britons.

Justin Bieber declares his love for wife Hailey after the couple were hit by split rumours
Bang Showbiz | Los Angeles Justin Bieber has declared his love for wife Hailey after the couple were hit by split rumours. The singer, 31, and his model partner, 28, tied the knot in 2018 and welcomed their son Jack Blues in August last year but the pair have recently been the subject of widespread reports over the state of their relationship amid fears for Justin's wellbeing after he was caught in incidents including a clash with paparazzi confrontations and posted social media updates hinting at drug use. Justin now appears to have dispelled persistent rumours his life and marriage is in turmoil by sharing a photo of him with Hailey cuddling up on holiday in Spain. He captioned the image with three pink heart emojis. In the Instagram beach photo, Justin looked casual in a red bomber jacket, while Hailey opted for a sunny yellow and white pants set. Alongside the beach imagery, Justin posted a villa snapshot on his Instagram account, featuring palm trees and a private pool. Earlier in the week, Justin and Hailey were spotted at Gran Folies beach club enjoying an intimate lunch. Photos obtained by Page Six showed the singer with his hood up, sipping white wine, while Hailey savoured a Bloody Mary while wearing a bandana. Despite the affectionate scenes, rumours of marital strain have endured. In a Vogue interview in May, Hailey addressed the gossip directly, saying: 'I thought seven years in it would've (started to fade) already, and it hasn't. So I guess these bitches are going to be mad.' But one source recently told Page Six: 'Justin is going through a hard time and Hailey is doing her best to be there for him, but there's only so much she can do… Hailey loves Justin with all her heart but that doesn't necessarily mean she's happy.' Justin has also defended himself publicly, telling paparazzi on recent occasions that he's 'a dad and just wants his privacy respected'. HIs and Hailey's romantic Spanish retreat marks their first significant public gestures of connection since the speculation began.

Khloe Kardashian gets candid about cosmetic work
Bang Showbiz | Los Angeles Khloe Kardashian has detailed all the cosmetic procedures she has undergone. The 41-year-old reality star - who has seven-year-old daughter True and two-year-old son Tatum with ex-boyfriend Tristan Thompson - commented on a video from a doctor breaking down her 'transformation' over the years and while she took it as a 'compliment' that he had listed a number of different treatments, she insisted the speculation was inaccurate but confirmed she had undergone a nose job, fillers, and other cosmetic work. The doctor, Jonny Betteridge, shared a video on his clinic's Instagram account in which he compared photos from her attendance at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding to some taken 'many years ago' to 'appreciate just how much she's changed over the years.' Noting his thoughts were 'purely speculative and based on my professional opinion', Jonny captioned the post: 'Based on recent photos, I believe she may have had the following work done. 'A temporal brow lift to elevate the outer brow area, Upper blepharoplasty to smooth the upper eyelids, Rhinoplasty for a more sculpted nose, Lip filler to enhance volume and shape, A face and neck lift for overall tightness and definition, [and] A chin implant for lower face projection. 'She looks dramatically different from a few years ago, and whether you see it as glow up or glam makeover, there's no denying she's created a bold new look for herself (sic)' Shortly afterwards, the Good American founder herself commented on the post. She wrote: 'I take this as a great compliment. 'First off I think these photos are about 15 years apart, But here's a list of things that I have done. I've been very open in the past about what I have done so here we go.' According to Khloe, she has had a nose job performed by Dr. Raj Kanodia, 'laser Hair for the hairline and everywhere else' at Sev Laser Aesthetics, 'soft wave laser for skin tightening' at Software Therapy, and 'collagen baby Threads' underneath her chin and neck from The Things We Do. In addition, after having skin cancer removed from her face in 2023, Khloe noted she had also visited 70 Spa Laser + Aesthetic Center for 'Botox and sculptra where my face tumor was removed in my cheek'. The Kardashians star has had 'filler in the past'.
