Description: 

This striking Untitled (2012) large-format work is an iconic example of RETNA’s calligraphic abstraction, executed on an original found door — a rare and highly desirable support within the artist’s oeuvre.

RETNA transforms the worn, textured surface of the salvaged door into a monumental canvas for his signature script, blending influences from:

  • Arabic calligraphy

  • Egyptian hieroglyphics

  • Old English typography

  • Cholo graffiti

  • Contemporary street art

The vertical composition, drenched in bold black gestural strokes and accented with subtle green details, embodies RETNA’s poetic visual language — a coded system of symbols that merges spirituality, identity, and urban culture.

Painted in 2012, a defining period when the artist’s work appeared in major exhibitions and global commissions, this piece stands as a museum-scale collectible and a quintessential representation of RETNA’s artistic voice.

The reverse side maintains the original architecture of the found door, preserving the raw authenticity central to RETNA’s practice.
