About the work

About the artist
Peter Doig's paintings have a tendency to disorientate us, even when they depict recognizable imagery such as figures and buildings. We are often plunged into an unreliable world of reflections, sometimes literally when we are presented with the icy lakes and watery depths but more often in a metaphorical sense - the mirror image of memory or fantasy. Doig invites us to consider the status of the people, places and events that populate his pictures, whether they exist in private or public realms, in personal or shared experiences.
Knowing that Doig's childhood was spent partly in Canada and partly in Trinidad, might tempt us to read his art as being a remembrance of youth in the snow and a meditation on a past and present awash with warm Caribbean hues. His paintings are ultimately to do with the ways in which, through a variety of processes, the painted image attains a specific resonance, a condition that is beyond words.
Born in Edinburgh in 1959, Peter Doig now lives and works in Trinidad. Doig has had major solo international exhibitions, most recently at Tate Britain (2008), Musée d'Art moderne de la Ville de Paris and Dallas Museum of Art (2005).
