I'm somehow not surprised by how critics now are starting to be vocal (and HARSH) about his work after being revealed to be Madonna's son. It's like a curse. The fact that he sold paintings at 5 figures without revealing his identity shows strong potential and how his work appeals to artists (new, old, growing or wealthy).
Madonna's ex-boyfriend, the famed artist Jean-Michel Basquiat once said, “I don't listen to what art critics say. I don't know anybody who needs a critic to find out what art is."
I'm glad Rocco has found a creative outlet that he's dedicated to. The Tanya Baxter Contemporary likens his work to Basquiat and Banksy, but I think it's more reminiscent of the artist Francis Bacon. Madonna owns a Bacon.
