Rihanna's Domestic Abuse Photos Turned Into Art

post #1 of 22
Thread Starter 


An LA based artist is trying to put a positive spin on the TMZ leaked photos of Rihanna taken after she was allegedly beaten by boyfriend Chris Brown.

But the catch is, artist Sham, who portraits the "Disturbia" singer’s highly publicized photo, is not doing this for Domestic violence prevention.

"I thought the bruises in the police photo were interesting shapes to draw," he tells E!. "And it was cool to color them pink and blue. Those are two of my favorite colors."

The 24-inch by 36-inch piece will be featured in the World of Wonder Storefront Gallery's new group show, Name That 'Toon, opening tonight in Hollywood.

"There is no message to any of my art," he went on to say. "It's meant to look cool hanging on your wall and that's it! I'm not into deep meanings."

This is very distasteful. Since when is abuse cool to look at?

Re: Rihanna's Domestic Abuse Photos Turned Into Art

ugh. Revolting.

I can really only see this as redeemable if the artist was selling it with all profits going to some kind of domestic abuse charity and/or if the work was using it's recognition to raise awareness of violence against women.

Otherwise, just sick - making money off something like this? blech!

Oh wow... Domestic violence makes interesting shapes to draw, and the end result is a POSITIVE spin...

What a concept...

It was only a matter of time.

I kept waiting for the man who sculpted"Britney Giving Birth on a Bear Skin Rug" (or whatever the heck it was called) to throw his two cents in. He's probably pissed this guy got his picture in the news first.

Its art whether we like it or not and id say his comments were to draw attention to his exhibition and make him seem more out-there. Artists are weird like that.
