RETNA (b. 1979, Los Angeles) is an internationally recognized contemporary artist celebrated for his distinctive fusion of graffiti, calligraphy, and abstraction. Drawing inspiration from ancient writing systems, including Egyptian hieroglyphics and Arabic calligraphy, he has developed an instantly recognizable visual language. Emerging from the Los Angeles graffiti scene, RETNA has established a strong presence in the international art market, with his large-scale paintings particularly sought after by collectors.
Resurrect the Life of a Scribe (2013) is an impressive, monumental example of RETNA's signature style, executed in acrylic, enamel, and graphite on canvas. Measuring 84 × 60 inches (213.4 × 152.4 cm), the painting offers the scale, visual impact, and intricate calligraphic composition that define his most recognizable works. Dating from an important period in the artist's career, the work embodies the distinctive aesthetic that has established RETNA's reputation among collectors of contemporary and urban art. Signed, titled, and dated on the reverse, this commanding canvas represents a compelling example of his celebrated practice.
