Ed Sheeran Launches Art Career Exhibition in London

Ed Sheeran, the globally renowned singer-songwriter, is branching out into the visual arts with the launch of his first-ever art collection titled Cosmic Carpark Paintings. Created during downtime on his Mathematics tour, the collection features vibrant canvases inspired by celestial forms and painted in a disused London car park, reflecting Sheeran's expressionist splash painting style. Encouraged by British painter Damien Hirst and Joe Hage, Sheeran is showcasing the collection at the HENI Gallery in London from July 11 to August 1. Half of the proceeds from original artwork sales and a portion from print sales will support the Ed Sheeran Foundation, which funds music education and grassroots projects across the UK. Sheeran, whose parents worked in art, began painting as a creative outlet after his 2019 Divide tour and aims to use this new venture to raise funds for accessible music education. The initiative highlights Sheeran's commitment to nurturing the music industry and community, complementing his established career in music.
