Eastern Realm is easily recognized as work by the hand of Westside superstar Retna by his dominant gold palette and hieroglyphics. This signature visual language leaves the viewer wondering whether his elegant typographic text contains meaning other than the abstract. The title itself hints at a language Westerners won't or can't understand. Constructing letters from Arabic, Hebrew, Egyptian, and Persian, Retna challenges the viewer without overtly confronting them with its meaning. EST $6000-8000 Categories: Street Art
