A group of emerging artists from North Shore are unravelling the mystery of the death of Canadian painter, Tom Thomson, in a play for the upcoming Vancouver Fringe Theatre Festival from Sept. 8 to Sept. 18.
On a beautiful July morning in 1917, Canadian painter Tom Thomson vanished in Algonquin Park's Canoe Lake.
As the first artist to provide a visual form to Canadian landscapes, Thomson was a prominent figure in the history of art in Canada, setting a precedent for other Canadian artists. Due to the nature of his disappearance and death, storytellers have always been fascinated by the mystery surrounding what happened to him.
Writer-director Gregory Strong, a Burnaby resident, shares the love for Thomson's work, which led to his desire to explore the story. He compares the Canadian artist to another revolutionary artist, Vincent van Gogh, whose life was also cut short.
