Daniel Innes (artist)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Daniel Innes is a Canadian artist, most noted for the 2023 book Denison Avenue.[1] The book, a collaboration with writer Christina Wong, blends Wong's novella about an elderly Chinese Canadian widow navigating the rapidly changing Chinatown-Kensington district of Toronto, Ontario, with Innes's inked illustrations of scenes from the neighbourhoods.[2]

The book was a shortlisted finalist for the 2024 Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction,[3] and was defended by Naheed Nenshi in the 2024 edition of Canada Reads.[4]

He has also worked in painting, installation art, graphic and textile design, sign painting, and tattooing.
