Mash Gallery is proud to present “Silence Decoded,” a solo exhibition by internationally acclaimed artist RETNA. Known for his distinctive visual language rooted in a fusion of calligraphy, street art, and global typographic traditions, RETNA creates work that speaks through rhythm, repetition, and symbolic form.
This special exhibition invites viewers to engage with a powerful new collection that transforms silence into structure and gesture. Each work is a coded meditation—layered with references to ancient scripts, spiritual iconography, and urban grit—challenging the boundaries between language, culture, and abstraction.
Held at the Pacific Design Center’s Blue Building, “Silence Decoded” offers a rare opportunity to experience RETNA’s large-scale works in an intimate setting. Whether you’re a seasoned collector, curator, or admirer of contemporary art, this exhibition offers a dynamic perspective on one of today’s most influential visual voices.
Admission is free with RSVP.
RETNA, born Marquis Lewis, is known for large-scale paintings covered in long, geometric scripts that evoke a secret language. The artist’s shapes take inspiration from Egyptian hieroglyphics, Arabic and Hebrew calligraphy, Gothic blackletter, and graffiti, among other global influences. RETNA got his start as a graffiti artist while growing up in Los Angeles. He has since exhibited in New York, Los Angeles, and London, among other cities. His work regularly sells for five figures on the secondary market. RETNA has collaborated with brands including Louis Vuitton, Nike, and Chanel; created an album cover for Justin Bieber; and designed sets for a production of Aida at the Washington National Opera and San Francisco Opera.
