    About This Event

    At Café Carlyle, Illustrator Tea brings Izak Zenou and Irak Zenou into the room to draw in full view. They build images in real time while narrating choices and tracing the influences behind them. Both come from disciplined studio training and foreground draftsmanship and close observation, treating process itself as the performance.
