Architectural Origins, Artistic Journeys: Elijah Trice's Creative Odyssey
Welcome to 'The Truth in This Art' podcast, hosted by Rob Lee, engage in this meaningful conversation with Elijah Trice, a Baltimore-native contemporary artist and architectural designer, who hails from a family of diverse artists. Developing his skills in figurative drawing from a young age, he explored mediums like graphite and charcoal. After earning his B.S. in Architecture from Morgan State University and gaining experience in the field, he pursued his passion for painting at Rhode Island School of Design, where an introductory course shifted his creative trajectory. Combining his architectural background, Trice is a multidisciplinary artist with a profound focus on drawing and painting. He anticipates graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design soon.
In this episode, we explore:
Elijah discovered his passion for art at a young age and pursued it through high school and college. However, he eventually decided to study architecture in college, feeling discouraged by the idea of being a starving artist. It wasn't until the COVID-19 pandemic hit that Elijah rediscovered his love for art and started painting. His work now focuses on telling other people's stories and using color to convey emotions. Elijah finds inspiration in the city of Providence and the diverse experiences of the people he meets there. He also values obscurity and prefers to let his work speak for itself rather than seeking fame. Elijah incorporates constraints into his work, such as time limits and limited color palettes, to challenge himself and foster creativity.
