RETNA Untitled, 2014 features a limited palette of beige script against a brown background. Subtle variations in the shades of brown give the work a multilayered dimensional quality that accentuates the artist’s distinct stylized form of script RETNA is known for. The script covers the entirety of the canvas and is derived from a multitude of Gothic script, Egyptian Hieroglyphics and Arabic calligraphy. The methodical arrangement of stylized circles, lines and dots in various sizes overlap and interact with one another to create a linguistic composition in a somewhat chaotic yet organized configuration. Executed in earth tones, the color scheme gives this work a unifying and down to earth appearance. The painterly brushstrokes of the script vary slightly in transparency and distinctly define the noteworthy and exclusive style that give RETNA’s work a rustic and wholesome energy. The piece is executed in a graffiti-like manner, reminiscent of the Los Angeles art that originally brought RETNA to international attention and bolstering his standing as an influential contributor to contemporary art.
