Published 8th Oct 2015

The 27-year-old singer has revealed the artwork for her new album ANTI which has yet to be given a release date.

Rihanna unveiled the artwork at an exclusive event at MAMA gallery, Los Angeles last night (Wednesday 7th Oct) before revealing it to her online followers earlier today (8th October).

Designed by contemporary artist Roy Nachum Rihanna unveiled seven original oil paintings of a young girl, thought to be the 'FourFiveSeconds' singer herself, with a gold crown covering her eyes and a balloon tied to her wrist.

In the art gallery the oil paintings, two of which are used as the front and back album artwork feature Braille poetry written by Chloe Mitchel.

The Braille is also featured on the album itself, the first time that Braille has been used in this way, it will allow blind people to 'experience' the entire album by touch.
