“Great British Bake Off” Host Sells Ed Sheeran Painting for Over $1k

Art is subjective. That's the beauty of it, even when it's not immediately obvious to the eye. Someone apparently saw the appeal of an Ed Sheeran portrait, painted by Noel Fielding; best known to us in America as co-host of The Great British Bake Off. It sold for the equivalent of about $1,100 USD and was one in a series of Fielding's works auctioned by Saatchi Art.

“Drawing on surrealism, dada and neo-expressionism, Noel’s body of work treats us to a feast of colour and a trip through the triangle window into his soul,” the gallery described.

Call us rubes but Fielding's likeness of Sheeran, shown below, seems less reflective of his association with The Great British Bake Off and more like a mishap on Nailed It! At this rate, check the front of your fridge. It may be holding a valuable crayon or finger paint masterpiece created by your kids.
