Liquid Gold On Faux Leather
“Malibu Nights” by RETNA is a striking example of the artist’s signature script—layered in gold across a deep black leather surface. The contrast between the lustrous paint and the textured leather lends the piece both elegance and edge. RETNA’s iconic calligraphic language—rooted in a blend of ancient typographies and urban mark-making—unfolds here with ceremonial rhythm, evoking the stillness and intensity of a Malibu evening.
The artwork feels sacred yet streetwise, meditative yet raw—showcasing RETNA’s ongoing exploration of language as a visual force. “Malibu Nights” is not just a composition; it’s a coded atmosphere, where gold whispers in symbols across a midnight landscape.
