RETNA | Untitled (ca. 2012)

Untitled is an original artwork by American contemporary artist RETNA (Marquis Lewis), recognised internationally for his distinctive script-based visual language. Combining influences from graffiti, global calligraphic traditions, and sacred typographic systems, RETNA constructs a unique alphabet that is both abstract and symbolically structured.

Rendered through layered mark-making and rhythmic composition, this original work exemplifies the artist’s exploration of communication, cultural identity, and visual code. The dense, architectural script creates a powerful surface presence, balancing repetition with subtle variation and controlled gesture.

Emerging from the Los Angeles street art movement of the 1990s, RETNA has since exhibited internationally, with works held in significant private collections worldwide. His originals remain highly sought after for their material intensity and distinctive aesthetic authority.

This original RETNA artwork is available through Creed Gallery Ascot and is supplied with a certificate of authenticity.
