Get ready for a groundbreaking exhibition by the enigmatic street artist RETNA! 🌟
🗓️ Exhibition Launch: December 26, 2023 📍 Location: Burgess Modern + Contemporary, Fort Lauderdale, FL
RETNA, known for his unique fusion of calligraphy and street-style graffiti, is set to unveil a provocative new series that challenges the very essence of creation. "Appetite for Destruction" showcases artworks intentionally torn apart and meticulously restored, symbolizing vulnerability and resilience.
🖌️ This exhibition explores the human condition - self-destructive yet self-healing. RETNA's distinctive script, inspired by diverse cultures, undergoes radical transformation through techniques like slashing and gouging, only to be reborn through stitching. It's a ritual of atonement and a narrative of redemption through each suture.
🔍 Highlights include "Basket Knots,” 2023 - a tapestry of characters and symbols, symbolizing the interconnectedness of communication and culture. "Slang Them Colors" pays homage to the artist’s late father, blending American heritage with personal grief and remembrance.
💭 RETNA's art challenges viewers to embrace the impermanence of life and art, redefining the true value of creativity beyond market constraints.
📣 Join us for a transformative experience at Burgess Modern + Contemporary, as we witness the evolution of an artist who defies categorization. This exhibition encapsulates the cycle of destruction and rebirth, offering profound insights into the nature of creation itself.
