APC ART is pleased to offer our global collector base this stunning original painting by street art legend RETNA.

“Benevolence Shadows” is an original work on wove paper, measuring an impressive 44 x 30 inches, executed in acrylic by Marquis Lewis (A/K/A RETNA). This painting is a prime example of the artist’s highly stylized, constructed script—an instantly recognizable calligraphic language that has become one of the most important visual signatures in contemporary art.

RETNA has developed a global reputation for blending influences ranging from Egyptian hieroglyphics, Old English, Hebrew, and Arabic calligraphy, to the raw energy of West Coast graffiti. His calligraphic works are revered for their hypnotic rhythm, graphic power, and cultural depth. Over the past two decades, RETNA has cemented his place in the canon of 21st-century contemporary art through FALSE-out exhibitions, record-setting auctions, and groundbreaking collaborations with some of the biggest names in fashion, music, and design—including Louis Vuitton, VistaJet, and the iconic cover artwork for Justin Bieber’s “Purpose” album.

Collectors across the world, from celebrities such as Madonna, Usher, and Swizz Beatz, to major institutions and influential private collections, actively seek his works. The market for RETNA has proven resilient and consistently strong, making this painting not only a striking visual centerpiece but also an excellent investment opportunity.

The sheer size and scale of “Benevolence Shadows” only add to its presence, offering collectors a rare chance to acquire an original work that exemplifies RETNA at his very best. At APC ART, we are pleased to offer archival framing options for this work—ensuring museum-standard presentation with custom hand-cut frames, acid-free matting, and anti-UV glazing to preserve the integrity of the piece for generations to come.

This work is in hand and ready to ship immediately from the USA. Do not miss the opportunity to add this important RETNA original to your collection—a true masterpiece from one of the most influential contemporary artists of our time.
