Ed Sheeran Sells Pollock-Style Paintings London Exhibition Raises Music Education Funds

Ed Sheeran is showcasing his debut collection of abstract paintings titled 'Cosmic Carpark Paintings' at the Heni Gallery in London from July 11 to August 1, 2025. Created during breaks in his touring schedule, Sheeran painted these colorful, Jackson Pollock-inspired works in a disused Soho car park, using household paint and large canvases. He describes painting as a creative outlet and emphasizes he does not consider himself a professional artist. Prints of the paintings are being sold for just over £900 each, with 50% of the proceeds going to the Ed Sheeran Foundation, which supports music education in UK state schools and grassroots organizations. Sheeran has been a vocal advocate for increased funding for music education, even writing to Prime Minister Keir Starmer to request dedicated resources for creative subjects. The exhibition and sales are part of his ongoing efforts to raise awareness and funds for underfunded school music programs.
