The nom de plume – derived from a Raekwon song – was originally given to a friend. “I gave him a sketch, and he went and battled some dude and he lost,” Retna said previously in an interview with Upper Playground. “He wasn’t even supposed to battle anyone anyway with my sketch that I gave him. And on top of that he lost, so that really pissed me off, so I took the name back.”<br /><br />Over the past few years, Retna has been known less for his graffiti pieces than a unique written language derived from various ancient scripts.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKUchTePLwckrwsQcgz5pMaw8oOhaDJIC2mRCKrXgnUPjPGsYk3oF_RqfuBr4-9CH8kmfNG-lZq7eRNppjbvrcVBZARzEjD0MC8IVh1pxfzuN1ZHtJise5i8t12UEYH8Bk63tqi0tUP9ht/s1600/Retna-3-lo.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5609314161974425842" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKUchTePLwckrwsQcgz5pMaw8oOhaDJIC2mRCKrXgnUPjPGsYk3oF_RqfuBr4-9CH8kmfNG-lZq7eRNppjbvrcVBZARzEjD0MC8IVh1pxfzuN1ZHtJise5i8t12UEYH8Bk63tqi0tUP9ht/s400/Retna-3-lo.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 531px; height: 353px;" /></a><br /><br />“It draws on Egyptian hieroglyphics, and Mayan glyphs, as well as Mexican and pre-Columbian heritage,” Jeffrey Deitch, director of MoCA in Los Angeles, said. “He filters those traditions through the tradition of tagging and graffiti that has been seen in Los Angeles since the 1970s. Within these traditions, he has come up with something entirely his own.”<br /><br />The New York exhibition, The Hallelujah World Tour (Venice and London are the two other stops) is Retna’s biggest show to date.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Images courtesy of </span><a href="http://www.bombardier.com/" style="font-style: italic;">Bombardier </a><span style="font-style: italic;">and </span><a href="http://www.digitalretna.com/" style="font-style: italic;">RETNA</a></span>
