Retna was born in Los Angeles, California in 1979. Since first creating a name for himself in the early 1990s, Retna has become an “eternal broadcaster” of sorts, shining a light to the kinetic urban soul of Los Angeles. The name RETNA itself evokes the timeless power, movement and visual vibrancy behind the artist’s acclaimed work. His work merges photography with graffiti style and paint, time with color, couture with street culture, the spiritual with the sensual, and fluidity with grit. Whether his paintings hang in a gallery or wall on the streets of Los Angeles, they serve as a retina through which we view the urban journal of contemporary art.

"Giovanni Boldini seems like an influence of a lot of artists we like today" posted from: The Citrus Report

Looking at Giovanni Boldini’s work (1842-1931), we can’t help but see an influence over artists like Conor Harrington, Chloe Early, Ian Francis, Angelika Trojnarski. Look at how amazing this piece is above? Incredible.

Pacolli is well known by Juxtapoz readers - check the interview Stephan Doitschinoff made with her here - but since I had the opportunity to read two of her zines in my last trip to São Paulo I thought it was a good opportunity to say again how great they are and also to add that she's just moved to San Francisco. You should visit blog where you can find more info on her zines and her artwork. The above are pages from her Shitface zine.
