Artist Simon Henwood generates the creative force behind Rihanna's Rated R
Painter, Filmmaker and Set Designer brings his catalogue of experience to bear in a unique roll. With quotes from famous hip hop star Kanye West that says, "If Yoda was an artist he'd be Simon Henwood," it's no wonder why artist Simon Henwood is creating his own success this year.
Coming off the ever successful ingenious art direction for the Kanye West brand, Simon Henwood has set himself on a launch pad of continued global success by being enlisted by mega Pop Star Rihanna in a unique roll of overall "creative director" for the songstress' global imaging for her 4th Album, RATED R.

ROLLING STONE (4 STARS)
"The real triumph here is artistic...Rihanna has transformed her sound and made one of the best pop records of the year..."
PEOPLE (4 STARS)
"Rihanna had yet to make her big artistic statement. She has now. Rated R, her gritty 4th album, is her coming-of-age manifesto, her Control...it's deeper and darker, harder and heavier than anything you would have expected...Brava."
