APC ART is pleased to offer our global collector base this absolutely stunning, one-of-a-kind original painting by internationally celebrated artist Marquis Lewis, known professionally as RETNA.
This large-scale work measures 30 inches by 44 inches, executed with watercolors on wove paper in striking shades of deep green, turquoise blue, and bold black. The result is a composition that is simultaneously explosive and controlled, showcasing RETNA’s distinctive visual language—what the artist himself has coined as “Margraves.”
The work is hand signed on verso by RETNA, inscribed with “Margraves” —a name he applies both to his calligraphic identity and to his constructed script, often referred to as his “secret language.” Derived from Hebrew, Arabic, Egyptian hieroglyphics, Old English (Blackletter), and traditional street graffiti, this script is instantly recognizable and represents one of the most unique visual languages in all of contemporary art.
The sheer scale of the painting makes it a commanding presence, measuring nearly three feet by four feet, and it will serve as the centerpiece of even the most seasoned collection. The bold emerald strokes, splashes of blue, and energetic layering testify to RETNA’s mastery of merging cultural history, abstraction, and modern street sensibility.
RETNA has been collected internationally by some of the most influential names in music, fashion, and finance, with original works consistently selling into the five- and six-figure range. Large-scale, one-of-a-kind paintings such as this are exceptionally rare and continue to rise in demand on the global market.
This is not a print, nor a multiple. This is a unique painting—making it an unparalleled blue-chip investment opportunity. The fusion of scale, execution, signature, and the presence of the artist’s “Margraves” script makes this an absolutely unprecedented acquisition for the discerning collector.
A museum-quality work that embodies RETNA’s standing as one of the most important street and contemporary artists of the 21st century, this painting represents not only aesthetic mastery but also an extraordinary investment opportunity.
