Sinopsis

Peter Doig (b.1959) is a pioneering artist whose work has charted a new direction in contemporary painting Doig's work has never been presented in a monograph of this scope. His paintings depict atmospheric landscapes, sometimes glimpsed beneath washes of hallucinogenic colour, at other times through nets of thickly patterned marks. Combining found images (including film stills, album covers and newspaper clippings) with visions of his Canadian childhood and landscapes from his studio in Trinidad, Doig has created a painted world that is uniquely his own. Educated in London, his home for nearly twenty years, Doig continues to influence the latest generation of British painters.
