RETNA is the pseudonym for graffiti artist Marquis Lewis (American, b. 1979) who combines ancient scripts, runes, and calligraphy into a unique visual language only decipherable to eyes trained to do so. This mysterious quality and looming scale are “sui generis”, (of its own kind), and unlike those who have come before or after.
This 2015 untitled sculpture stands like an ancient stele with coded glyphs and regal presence. The steel sculpture is one of only 10 in the edition and stands 60.75 inches tall and 23.5 inches wide (154.3cm x 59.7cm). It bears an iridescent patina which glitters depending on the viewer’s angle.
