Street artist Retna paints for

This LA-based street artist is currently on the road with his latest exhibition, the “Halleluja World Tour“. Despite hints of Asian calligraphy, Incan and Egyptian hieroglyphics, Hebrew and Arabic script in his work, Retna likens himself more to a typographer rather than inventor of a new language. He talks to about his gang-inspired beginnings, his need to be unhappy and the job that he is here to do. Address: The Old Dairy, 7 Wakefield St, London, WC1N 1PB
