The Coney Art Walls project in Brooklyn, New York, served as another venue for RETNA's monumental creativity in 2015. This open-air street art museum, located near the legendary Coney Island amusement park, gathered the world's top masters to create a series of independent art objects. RETNA presented a massive autonomous wall covered in his signature calligraphy.
His work on Coney Island is distinguished by its high level of detail and rhythm. The use of sharp contrasts and complex hieroglyphic constructions created a visual magnet amidst the surrounding colorful murals. The Coney Art Walls project aimed to bring cultural life back to this historic New York neighborhood, and RETNA's contribution was a key element of the success of this initiative. The Coney Island mural showcases the artist's ability to create works that look like sacred texts in the context of mass entertainment and beach recreation. RETNA's work remains one of the most recognizable objects in the project, highlighting his enduring influence on the New York street scene.
