Madonna praised her son Rocco Ritchie as she attended his art exhibition at Frieze in London on Thursday.
The singer, 65, who is set to kick off her 78-date Celebration tour at The O2 on Saturday night, supported the 23-year-old, who has made a name for himself in the artworld.
Rocco has quietly established himself as an expressionist painter under the name Rhed with his artwork selling upwards of £20,000.
He has had three exhibitions at the Chelsea art gallery, Tanya Baxter Contemporary, since 2018.
Ritchie – who turns heads with his retro fashion sense – kicked off his career at age 17 – studying at Central Saint Martins and the Royal Drawing School and his work now sells for five figures.

Rocco’s secret life as an acclaimed artist was unveiled last year by Page Six.
His bio on London’s Tanya Baxter Contemporary gallery website states: ‘Rhed is a young emerging artist whose cultural background is diverse and unconventional.
‘His childhood was spent between New York and London which have given him an eclectic and diverse artistic background.
‘Society conflicts such as the obsession with social media, fixation of celebrities & labels and generational problems such as drug abuse and depression are subjects that he approaches in a coded fashion.
‘It is almost as if the artist uses the paintings to act as a spokesman for the millennial generation who have overdosed on a toxic society.’
