Study of Lexicon
"Study of Lexicon" by Retna is a striking fusion of acrylic, enamel, and crystalline elements on canvas, showcasing the artist's signature calligraphic script that draws from ancient writing systems, hieroglyphics, and street vernacular. The work pulses with layered typography and symbolic mark-making, rendered in rich, luminous tones that seem to shimmer and shift with the reflective crystalline medium. Retna's distinctive visual language transcends traditional text, transforming the canvas into a sacred, coded manuscript that bridges cultural histories and personal mythology.
