" UNTITLED 2017" BY RETNA - ORIGINAL ACRYLIC ON CANVAS, SIGNED, 60 X 72 INCHES

Description: UNTITLED 2017 BY RETNA - ORIGINAL PAINTING ON CANVAS RETNA ( aka MARQUIS LEWIS) See the Untitled 2017 features a combination of scripts to create a unique visual language influenced by Gothic script, Egyptian Hieroglyphics, Hebrew, Blackletter and Arabic calligraphy. In this bold large-scale piece, RETNA incorporates elements of these writings into a methodical arrangement of letterforms to create a visual masterpiece. Against a white, painterly background, his unique language stands out in pure black that radiates drama and glamour. The text effuses with ancient echoes, encouraging the viewer to ponder the historic linguistic references within a contemporary context. Stylized circles and lines contrast eloquently with drips of paint, attesting to RETNA’s underlying expressionism and artistic freedom. A fine example of RETNA’s signature style, this compelling work evidences the artist’s rise to fame in the international art world. RETNA, born Marquis Lewis, is known for large-scale paintings covered in long, geometric scripts that evoke a secret language. The artist’s shapes take inspiration from Egyptian hieroglyphics, Arabic and Hebrew calligraphy, Gothic blackletter, and graffiti, among other global influences. RETNA got his start as a graffiti artist while growing up in Los Angeles. He has since exhibited in New York, Los Angeles, and London, among other cities. His work regularly sells for six figures on the secondary market. He created an album cover for Justin Bieber; and designed sets for a production of Aida at the Washington National Opera and San Francisco Opera. Created in 2017, this acrylic on canvas is hand-signed by RETNA (Los Angeles 1979 - ) in ink on verso. This is a unique and original work.
