It has been widely reported this week that the pop singer Ed Sheeran has been turning his creative energies to art recently. His works, which he has styled 'Cosmic Carpark Paintings', will be on display at the Heni Gallery in London until August.

There is some irony in the fact that a singer, who has faced multiple lawsuits on accusations of copyright infringement regarding his songs, is now being accused by many in the art world for ripping off Jackson Pollock. At least funds from the sale of his painted pastiches will go to his foundation, that helps works to offer music education and opportunities to young people from all backgrounds.
