RIHANNA ART

Craziness…So a L.A. based pop artist thought that Rihanna’s battered face pic that was leaked by the LAPD was so interesting that he made it into a art piece that is currently being displayed in a Hollywood art exhibit.

“I thought the bruises in the police photo were interesting shapes to draw,” said Sham Ibrahim of his 24-inch by 36-inch portrait, which reflects four custom colorized blow-ups of digital tracings of the police picture onto canvas. “And it was cool to color them pink and blue. Those are two of my favorite colors.”    

The artist says that his painting has no underlying message and he doesn’t support domestic violence. “There is no message to any of my art,” he says. “It’s meant to look cool hanging on your wall and that’s it! I’m not into deep meanings.” 

The painting is currently on display at Wonder Storefront Gallery’s new group show, Name That ‘Toon. Hmmm I wonder how Rihanna feels about this…
