Rocco Ritchie, son of Madonna and Guy Ritchie, has a secret life: he is an artist and exhibits in London

Rocco, son of Madonna and Guy Ritchie and brother of Lourdes Ciccone, is a very talented artist and, according to an exclusive of PageSix, it seems that exhibit his works in a London gallery under the pseudonym of Rhed. And that he has already not only met with considerable interest from celebrities or passionate collectors, but also that he has sold works for several thousand dollars. The artist’s bio on the gallery’s website Tanya Baxter Contemporary of London describes Rhed as “a young emerging artist whose cultural background is varied and unconventional” and tells how “his childhood was spent between New York and London, which gave him an eclectic and diverse artistic background”. Among the issues addressed by the artist are the obsession of young people with social media, depression, drug abuse., “Almost as if the artist were using the paintings to serve as a spokesperson for the millennial generation who overdosed on a toxic society.”

The beginnings of Rocco, Madonna’s son, should date back to 2018 when he would have exhibited for the first time in the gallery. In this case, the description tells of how the young man, with an eclectic cultural background and a childhood spent between New York and London, creates “paintings that exude an engaging mix of innocence and security”. In his work the artist draws on numerous artistic disciplines, from cinema to visual arts and entertainment, given that since he was a teenager he was fascinated by cinema and music.

In fact, after a post-graduate degree from Central Saint Martins, Rhed enrolled at the Royal Drawing School in Shoreditch, where he immediately began his more disciplined training and where he continued to study drawing from life. And today even if according to many it seems to be in contention as one of the future key artists of the London scene, it seems curious that just last summer both Madonna and Guy Ritchie were present at an exhibition at the Tanya Baxter Contemporary of London and that, by rumors, the two ignored the real identity of the artist’s works that they have on Artsy a price that reaches 24,000 dollars. Rocco is, literally, a son of art.
