According to the Miami Design District’s Instagram account, Rocco’s collection will be available for viewing Friday by appointment only.
In an interview with Artnet During his new show he talked about his lifelong interest in art and influences.
‘I’ve been painting since I was a little kid. It’s something that always caught my attention and gave me a place to escape,” he said.
While working on his latest collection, Rocco became ‘particularly inspired’ by an exhibition once by painter Frank Auerbach.
“My influences have changed over time, and what’s going on in my life determines which artists I watch. Lately I have been focusing on British painters over the past hundred years, such as Bacon, Freud, Auerbach and David Hockney,” he said.
‘For this show I was mainly inspired by Frank Auerbach’s show at the Courtauld; the black and white charcoal works on paper.

Initially, Rocco, whose parents are Madonna and Guy Ritchie, went by the pseudonym “Rhed” to avoid the judgment that may have come as the son of celebrities.
Speaking about adopting the pseudonym in his early days, he said: “Rhed was something I came up with to fly under the radar in the first few years of making work. There’s not much deeper meaning behind it, I just liked the way it sounded. I tried to stay with it as long as I could, but eventually the news got out.”
Rocco wanted to prove himself before giving up on ‘Rhed’.
“I’m proud of who I am and where I come from, but I know people would have judged me aggressively in my early stages if I had come out with my name. I wanted to develop technically before showing under my name,” he explained.
Meanwhile, his mother’s Celebration tour is coming to an end soon.
Madonna will next perform in Austin, Texas before closing Celebration in Mexico City.
The final stop of her tour is scheduled for Friday, April 26 at the Palacio De Los Deportes.
