Artist: Phuong Quoc Tri

Phuong Quoc Tri was born in 1976 in central Vietnam in the small town of Phan Rang. He left home at the age of 12 to settle in Saigon where he struggled to earn a living and continued his education. Tri's Father and Brother were self-taught artists and Tri shared their passion for expressing human emotion on a canvas and through sculptural works.

Tri's works are almost exclusively figurative. Each of his characters tells a story; some of longing, some of hardship, some of a destiny unknown. Tri's works force the viewer to think, reflect and experience. His introverted characters appear to be deep in thought; their lives rich with joy and sorrow.
A large selection of Tri's work is masked by small splashes of paint. This act shows that Tri has unlimited confidence when forming his work. Tri is established throughout the world and his works are on show from Japan to the United States. The popularity of his work is growing immensely and there is clear evidence on a greater demand by the worldwide art community.
