Rihanna’s Police Photo… A Work Of Art??
Piece Of Art- Rihanna's Police Photo
Rihanna’s attack by Chris Brown not only made headlines, now it’s inspiring art.
Sham Ibrahim’s new portrait of Rihanna is modeled on the infamous police photo showing the singers bruises and bumps.
Sham’s intent is not to raise awareness about domestic violence. Instead, his reasons for creating the Andy Warhol-like art which is featured in the World of Wonder Storefront Gallery’s new group show, Name That ‘Toon, opened tonight in Hollywood.
“I thought the bruises in the police photo were interesting shapes to draw,” he said. “And it was cool to color them pink and blue. Those are two of my favorite colors.
“There is no message to any of my art,” he said. “It’s meant to look cool hanging on your wall and that’s it! I’m not into deep meanings.”
