Eastern Realm (Grey), 2014
"Eastern Realm (Grey)" features RETNA's signature invented script—a sophisticated fusion of influences including Egyptian hieroglyphics, Arabic and Hebrew calligraphy, Gothic blackletter, and traditional graffiti letterforms. The densely packed composition creates a mesmerizing visual rhythm that is both indecipherable and strangely familiar to viewers.
The gold colorway employed in this edition (also released in a "Gold" variant) lends the work a stark, industrial quality that heightens the graphic impact of RETNA's calligraphic forms. This color choice creates a different mood and interpretation of the "Eastern Realm" referenced in the title.
RETNA (Marquis Lewis, b. 1979) began his artistic journey as a street artist in Los Angeles before gaining international recognition for his distinctive style. His work has been exhibited in major galleries worldwide and has been commissioned by brands including Louis Vuitton, Nike, and VistaJet.
