RETNA | Untitled | Original Pastel

RETNA (Marquis Lewis, b. 1979) is recognised for his distinctive visual language, combining influences from calligraphy, typography and historic writing systems to create a highly recognisable contemporary style.

Rather than functioning as conventional text, RETNA’s constructed script becomes an expressive visual form. Repeated characters, dense linework and carefully structured compositions create a strong sense of rhythm and movement across the surface.

This original work demonstrates the characteristic visual language associated with RETNA’s practice, where written form is transformed into an abstract composition. The balance between structure and fluidity gives the work a distinctive presence within contemporary and street art.
