The private aviation company which has a growing business in the Gulf,  has commissioned street artist RETNA to design a new look for a tail on one of the company's fleet which will be unveiled in April.

Vistajet is already associated with the artist in New York as it is  a sponsor  of “The Hallelujah World Tour” -  RETNA's  first New York solo presentation

The exhibition opens today in Greenwich Village and is being co-sponsored by VistaJet and Bombardier Business Aircraft and will be the first of three international exhibitions of RETNA’s work.

According to art experts, yielding an unmistakable aesthetic that integrates appropriated contemporary photography, traditional painting and a unique glyphic style, RETNA has emerged as one of the most prolific graffiti artists in the contemporary art world. The Hallelujah World Tour will feature a selection of work using a diverse range of mediums, including painting, sculpture, and photography.

Thomas Flohr, chairman and founder of VistaJet, said: “Art is a huge personal passion for me as well as many of our clients. We are delighted to be supporting the ground-breaking work of this unique contemporary artist.”
