Night Outside the Museum Part ll

March 14, 2013

Fashion, Home Décor, Photos

We love art in the street so much that we decided to make it a twinship monthly post. This month’s twinship art spotlight is Retna. At first glance, Retna’s work looks like a collage of arbitrary symbols…but when you look closer, you’ll discover that those “arbitrary symbols” are an original alphabet that he created influenced by Egyptian hieroglyphics, Arabic, Herbrew, and graffiti.

Retna makes graffiti art sophisticated and well…legal. So is Retna speaking your language? Tell us what you think.
