RIHANNA’S BATTERED FACE INSPIRES ARTWORK???
Mar 31, 2009 Author: MissXpose | Filed under: Rihanna
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…
What do you think about Rihanna’s battered face being used as a work of art? Leave us your comments!

I don’t think it should be deplayed…she was not beat down like the media said…if so she would have had a black eye and a busted lip and I did not see either.
I paint for a living….I would never do something like that.
BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is too funny!!! The pic is really retro though!
she was beat and we all know that anywayzz this person gots sum talent tho im lov’n the work!!!!
Technically, it’s a good canvas piece. However, I don’t think this artwork is ever going to be quite as incendiary or controversial as the artist expects…
I think this painting is beautiful. The artist is bringing out her beauty behind all the bruses and cuts. I deff. dont think the artist is supporting or encouraging domestic violence. I think its beautiful.
