Bio
Tri is an illuminating fine artist who brings lights to hearts, and forms their feelings into a physical world to create a healthier relationship with those emotions. Their current works blend the worlds of neon with sculpture, and features cartoony aesthetics placed in reality with a sense of elevated kitsch. Growing up in Columbus, Ohio, they went on to receive their BFA from the Columbus College of Art in Design with a focus in sculptural Installation, and a minor in creative writing. They have had their work shown in zhou b. art center as well as manifest gallery, and has had their work published in Botticelli Literary Magazine. In the words of Kacie Lees: “DO YOU KNOW @tri.log??,” because honestly seems like you might want to.
Statement
Fascinated with the possibilities of new realities explored in animation, and understanding one’s emotions; Tri is a queer interdisciplinary artist with a love of sculpture, neon, and installation. They utilize the motif of the heart as to discuss matters of the heart, and exploring an emotion’s abstract identity through physical media. They draw a lot of inspiration from various 90s, and early 2000s cartoons, and anime, but most notably their love of Pokémon, and Digimon. they are a visual storyteller who take on the ideas of transformative light to highlight their journey through emotional growth with forms of fabricated nostalgia.
