Robbie Williams is set to showcase his own paintings at his first-ever art exhibition.The singer and his creative partner, Ed Godrich, will present a series of their black-and-white paintings at Sotheby’s galleries on New Bond Street, London between May 13 and May 25.They’re also curating an art sale at the auction house that will feature works by some of their favourite artists, including Damien Hirst, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Grayson Perry (via The Guardian).Additionally, the sale is set to include one of Williams and Godrich’s pieces which is expected to fetch between £15,000 and £20,000.

The ‘Contemporary Curated’ sale runs from April 22-28.“Art is really whatever you want it to be. Just like music it has the ability to soothe and provide company when you’re lonely,” Williams explained of the venture.“Art and music have punctuated my ups and downs, but more importantly they both have the power to change how I feel in a moment.”The pop star has been painting in partnership with Godrich – who is an interior designer – for five years, with the pair having bonded over a shared passion for Outsider art (via the Evening Standard).Williams compared his ongoing collaboration with Godrich to being in a band, saying that their “outlook on life and sensibilities are eerily similar”.Artist collaborators @robbiewilliams and Ed Godrich are set to put their stamp on our #London galleries.

Together the duo will bring a fresh perspective to ‘Contemporary Curated’ before opening their debut exhibition, ‘Black and White Paintings’ this May.
