Retna — Young Blood
Retna

Young Blood

Young Blood is a striking screen print and enamel on paper work by the Los Angeles-based artist Retna, known for his distinctive visual language that blends ancient scripts, graffiti, and personal iconography into a fluid, hieroglyphic-like script. The piece pulses with bold linework and luminous enamel accents, creating a dynamic interplay between raw energy and refined mark-making. Retna's signature calligraphic style transforms the surface into a dense, rhythmic composition that evokes both urban culture and timeless mysticism.
