Hailing from Los Angeles, California, Cryptik has become recognized as one of the top “working” active street artists.
His rune style calligraphy as well as calligraphic text and designs often draw comparisons to RETNA, who also hails from Los Angeles.
Cryptik’s art is designed to invoke feelings of spirituality, the artist attempts to connect to the viewer’s conscious as well as subconscious, all the while bringing awareness to various social and cultural causes through his various street pieces, original paintings and prints.
Cryptik is an extremely disciplined calligraphy artist. His extremely “tight”, organized yet seemingly “free flowing” works are instantly recognizable from other artists in the same genre; his stylistic trademarks are apparent to most any street art expert as well as novice.
While the ”RETNA” works have become out of reach to many due to market prices, Cryptik’s works are still (quasi) affordable.
This specific piece is ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. The artist’s trademark calligraphy, in a shade of gold colored cream is juxtaposed against a background of black that fades to a hue that nearly matches the calligraphy as you move up the piece.
Hand deckled edges serve to provide a bit of a “rough edge” (no pun intended ) when contrasted against the artist’s freely flowing, yet extremely organized and seemingly meticulously crafted scripts.
The artist has hand signed as well as hand numbered the work, placing a gold leaf, wax seal to the bottom right of the piece, next to his signature (in graphite pencil).
A truly stunning work that will look absolutely amazing framed. This is a piece that even the most seasoned collector will be able to step back and appreciate.
