Madison Gallery, a leading contemporary art gallery in Southern California, is honored to present "LOVE LETTER | CARTA DE AMOR," a powerful new solo exhibition by globally recognized contemporary artist RETNA, on view from September 3 - October 11, 2025. An opening reception will be held on Saturday, September 20, from 6 p.m. - 9 p.m., with the artist in attendance. Widely recognized for his iconic hieroglyphic script, large-scale public works and influential presence in both the contemporary art world and street culture, RETNA now turns his focus inward - offering a rare and personal meditation on love, loss, and healing. In "CARTA DE AMOR," the artist explores the many forms of love and the redemptive power of connection. The exhibition will feature new large-scale canvases, mixed-media works, and site-specific installations that reflect RETNA's more authentic shift in artistic intention and tone. Rooted in his African American, Salvadorian, and Cherokee heritage, RETNA (born Marquis Lewis) has redefined contemporary art through a distinctive visual language that blends graffiti, illuminated manuscripts, and global iconography. As a 21st-century graffiti street artist, RETNA's hieroglyphic script recalls the expressive, culturally rooted mark-making seen in the work of pioneering street artists from the 1980s, including Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat. RETNA's work has appeared in major exhibitions across Los Angeles, New York, and London, and in collaborations with global brands such as Louis Vuitton and Chanel. "After going through an intense personal transformation, I felt compelled to make something rooted in love - love for self, for the people who held me up, and for the world that desperately needs healing," says RETNA. "This is a moment when connection matters more than ever, and "CARTA DE AMOR" is my response to that need. This project was born out of a time in my life when I needed to reclaim the idea of love as a foundation. After years of transformation, sobriety, and self-examination, I felt called to create something that felt both personal and universal." Exhibition Details: Title: "LOVE LETTER | CARTA DE AMOR" by RETNA Dates: September 3 – October 11 | Opening Night September 20, 6 p.m. - 9 p.m. Location: Madison Gallery, 320 S.
