Artist: RETNA Dual Sided Paintings: (1) Untitled Black and White Graphic Abstract (2) Untitled Green and Brown Abstract Medium: Original Acrylic Painting on Wove Paper Year: c. 2010-2020 Size: 76-1/2" x 51" Edition: Original Documentation: Includes original gallery certificate of authenticity including stated provenance direct from RETNA's studio; full documented record of uninterrupted provenance Executed circa 2010–2020, this large-scale work by RETNA presents a rare and unique format: a dual-sided original painting. Measuring an impressive 76-1/2 x 51 inches, the piece showcases two distinct compositions—one in the artist's signature black-and-white graphic script, the other in a richly textured green-and-brown abstract. Each side demonstrates RETNA's mastery of form, rhythm, and symbolic typography, characteristic of his instantly recognizable visual language. The black-and-white side embodies the quintessential RETNA style, with densely layered calligraphic forms arranged in a vertical grid, recalling both ancient scripts and the urban graffiti walls from which his career originated. The reverse offers a markedly different palette and energy, with earthy greens and browns creating a more atmospheric, painterly surface, yet still rooted in the artist's structural approach to composition. Dual-sided works by RETNA are exceptionally uncommon, making this piece a rare opportunity for collectors. Its format opens up unique possibilities for display. Options include a custom reversible frame that allows the artwork to be flipped on the wall, a free-standing rotating mount, or incorporation into a clear plexiglass frame that enables both sides to be viewed simultaneously. It could even function as an artful room divider in a contemporary space, offering an evolving visual experience. The work is currently unframed and can be customized to your preference. Accompanied by an original gallery certificate of authenticity, with provenance documented directly from RETNA's studio and a complete record of uninterrupted ownership, this work stands as both a significant example of the artist's practice and an unusually versatile object within his oeuvre.
