Dermot Louison

Dermot Louison is one of Trinidad & Tobago's national treasures and is acclaimed for his work as an artist.

Introduction

Louison has an avid preference for painting Trinidad as he remembers it in 'the old days'; depictions of the american soldiers during the World War II as seen by the eyes of the locals are no mystery subjects to him. So too, the rugged countryside houses and simple life characters, the obeah scenes and the 'old mass' dances.

Louison's works are varied in context; his medium mainly acrylic on canvas. He is also a prolific water colour artist.
