Rihanna Unveils Artwork For Eighth Studio Album 'Anti'

Rihanna's Art Revealed

In a recent exhibition at the MAMA GALLERY, RIHANNA and contemporary artist ROY NACHUM have unveiled seven original oil paintings that will be used as the official artwork for her forthcoming eighth studio album titled ANTI.

Included in these seven paintings is the album cover, which depicts a young girl with a gold crown covering her eyes, and a black balloon strung tightly to her wrist, painted in multiple, intersecting views.  The back cover features an oil painting of the same young girl seen from behind.  Both paintings are cleverly inscribed with sculpted Braille poetry by CHLOE MITCHEL that spreads between the front and the back cover of the album.

Additional paintings featured as inside album artwork include poetry sculpted in Braille by ROY NACHUM.  This is the first time an album has ever incorporated physical Braille.  The Braille inscription will also allow people who are blind to experience an entire album by touch.
