Denyse Thomasos was a Trinidadian-Canadian painter known for her abstract-style wall murals that conveyed themes of slavery, confinement and the story of African and Asian Diaspora. Sadly she died tragically in 2012. The first time I saw her work was at the McMichael Collection of Canadian Art, an art museum in Kleinburg, Ontario. I instantly liked her work and looked forward to seeing her show at the AGO.
The show is title: Denyse Thomasos, just beyond. It brings together more than 70 paintings and works on paper that she produced spanning the last 15 years of her short life. The first thing I noticed at this showing was the size of her canvases. They were large and some of them went from the floor to the ceiling.

I like the style.

She’s very architectural. I normally gravitate towards more organic shapes but her paintings draw me in. There’s so much to see.

My pleasure Jez. I always find it sad that the best artists don’t get the recognition they deserve until after they die. Van Gogh is a good example. He only sold one painting while he was alive.
