Singer Bryan Ferry’s creative son

ROCK star Bryan Ferry, a former student of pop art pioneer Richard Hamilton, will be delighted that he has passed on his creative flair to the next generation.

His son Tara — whose mother, the socialite Lucy Birley, died last year — is starting the New Year afresh by embarking on a career as a painter and sculptor.

The 29-year-old has launched his eponymous website, through which he is selling his paintings, photos and sculptures, and he’s off to an auspicious start: he has just sold his first piece — a screen print called Explore Your Eternity — to West London nightclub Laylow, owned by Bella Freud, where regulars include David Beckham and Kate Moss.

Tara tells me: ‘It explores serenity and transcendence, a woman walking into an endless sea of possibility.’

He adds: ‘2020 is already shaping up to be a very busy year for me.’
