Tri Le is a pen and ink artist who weaves imagination into his art, creating light within an illogical world. His work often leans toward surrealism, intertwining both traditional and contemporary elements. Tri’s pieces often explore the perpetual conflict between opposing forces: love and hatred, pleasure and displeasure, past and present. He seeks to capture the tension and harmony between these dualities, examining how they influence and shape one another.
Building on a decade of experience teaching art courses and workshops, Tri is sharing his extensive knowledge in a new book, The Artist's Guide to Pen and Ink: Take Your Drawings to the Next Level with Gorgeous Shading Techniques, published by Page Street Publishing. It’s full of step-by-step directions and reference illustrations to guide aspiring and seasoned artists through the process of developing new skills.
On this episode, host Angela de Burger chats with Tri about his creative journey to becoming a skilled pen and ink artist, how he shifted from traditional artistic styles to surrealism, and how he shares his techniques through workshops and his new book.
