Rocco Ritchie posed with his new mystery girlfriend as he celebrated the launch of his latest art exhibition at Frieze in London on Thursday night. 

It was a family affair as Madonna, who is set to kick off her 78-date Celebration tour at The O2 on Saturday night, turned up to show her support to her 23-year-old son 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 £45,000.

And Rocco’s portrait of his mother from when she was in the eighties could prove to be his most lucrative yet due to her fan base. 

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.’

Madonna looked every inch of her Queen of Pop status in a plunging black corset and a blazer and sheer gloves as she relaxed with son David and Stella on the sofa at the event. 

Stella and the songstress have been friends for years, with the fashion designer even turning Madonna’s daughter Lourdes becoming the face of her brand’s scent Pop. 

The designer, who is the daughter of Beatles legend Paul McCartney, previously said to Porter Magazine of her close bond with Lourdes:  It was a massive compliment she felt safe doing that with me, because everyone and their uncle has asked her to do things.’

‘It’s very funny for me, she was the one where I was like, ‘I get it, I get it, I’m there. Been there, done that, I know exactly who you are, I know exactly what you’re going through.’
