Exhibition of his art set to be displayed at London gallery

Pete Doherty is set to exhibit paintings that were created using his own blood.

The Babyshambles singer will display the works at an unnamed London gallery

The paintings depict life on the road including the singer on a tourbus and smoking with fans. The gallery is planning to sell them at £1000 each.

The art works were completed over the last six months and were being stored at the home of Doherty contact Paul Roundhill in Whitechapel

“I picked these pictures up at his flat in Hackney. Blood paintings are something he has done for a long time,” Roundhill told the Evening Standard.

The paintings can be viewing on the Balachadha website.
