Radenko Milak

Four Seasons Interrupted October 15 - December 15, 2025 San Diego, California — Madison Gallery is proud to announce FOUR SEASONS INTERRUPTED – Bosnian artist, Radenko Milak’s second solo exhibition with Madison Gallery - as he delves into the profound and disorienting impact of climate change on the four seasons. Known for his hauntingly precise monochromatic watercolors, Milak turns his focus to the natural rhythms that once governed our understanding of time. This new series of 16-18 paintings, captures the unsettling fragmentation of seasonal cycles, portraying moments when winter lingers into spring or summer bleeds unpredictably into fall - highlighting the instability and anxiety that now define our environmental experience.



Set against the backdrop of New York City, Milak’s work offers a visual narrative of how urban life intersects with—and is increasingly shaped by - climate disruption. Iconic landmarks and everyday street scenes are rendered with a spectral clarity, cloaked in fog, snow, or an eerie, out-of-season sunlight. His imagery reflects not only the city's vulnerability to environmental shifts but also its paradoxical resilience. The familiar becomes uncanny: cherry blossoms bloom in February, summer heatwaves arrive in April, and snow falls in October - each piece a meditation on how time and memory fracture in a warming world.

Zona Maco 2026

February 4 - 8, 2026 Madison Gallery and RETNA present Carta de Colores, a Solo Booth proposal at Zona Maco.
RETNA, an American artist of Salvadoran, African-American, and Native American descent, is known for his intricate calligraphic script, which draws inspiration from ancient hieroglyphs, Gothic lettering, and street culture. His work functions like a coded language—visually arresting and deeply symbolic—aiming to connect the sacred and the contemporary. Through his unique typographic system, RETNA explores themes of power, heritage, and spiritual transcendence.
Renowned for this iconic calligraphic script that blends ancient typographies with contemporary street
culture, RETNA constructs a visual language that transcends borders—linguistic, cultural, and geographic. Carta de Colores explores the synesthetic and symbolic relationships between language, color, and identity within the evolving landscape of global urban visual culture. The booth will present a curated selection of large-scale mixed media paintings and sculpture.
“Each letter I write is a translation — a bridge between silence and sound, between memory and future. Carta de Colores is not just an exhibition – It is an offering. My way of saying that color itself is a sacred alphabet, one we all can read with the eyes of the heart.” – RETNA Read more
