He is already a worldwide musical success but now Chris Brown has showed off his artistic talents by creating his own collection of street art.

With the support of his model girlfriend Karrueche Tran and a host of celebrity pals, the Look at Me Now singer has launched his first art show.

The collaboration with established American contemporary artist Ron English called "Dum English" went down a storm when it opened at the Opera Gallery in Soho, New York.

Among the bright and expressive works was a canvas titled Hell-no Kitty, which paid homage to the iconic Hello Kitty brand.

The duo created a limited-edition line of collectible toys, including colourful astronaut dolls, that were also on display.

The budding Picasso hosted the event to raise money for his children's charity, the Symphonic Love Foundation, which funds music and arts programmes for children.

IBTimes UK has a closer look at just few of Chris Brown's pieces.
