RETNA (Marquis Lewis) (b. 1979) is an American graffiti artist whose work has been featured in many successful ad campaigns for Nike, Louis Vuitton, and VistaJet. Born in Los Angeles, RETNAs work is influenced by the graffiti of his hometown, but also by early graffiti artists like Basquiat and Keith Haring. His use of a constructed script is a RETNA signature, often mixing hieroglyphs, calligraphy, and illuminated scripts into highly personal messages 

While moored in typographic forms, RETNAs pieces show a surprising amount of depth and texture that only reveal themselves after repeated viewings. It makes sense for an artist who lists the mystical works of many world religions and the Wu-Tang clan as some of his biggest artistic inspirations. RETNA pieces are beautiful, inscrutable, and ask more questions than they answer -- the hallmark of art that is made to stand the test of time
