In the early 1990s Doig was involved with a group of architects and artists who operated from the building. [12] The modern urban structures are partially revealed and hidden by the forest that surrounds them. As Doig explains: "When you walk through an urban environment, you take the strangeness of the architecture for granted."

Peter Doig ( / ˈ d ɔɪ ɡ/ DOYG; born 17 April 1959) [1] is a Scottish painter. He has settled in Trinidad since 2002. Adams, James (15 February 2013). "Artist Peter Doig sets a sales record". The Globe and Mail. Toronto. The exhibition will present many of Doig’s famous large-format works, which will be mirrored and complemented by an installation on the lower floor. Examples of Doig’s eye-catching and highly innovative graphic works, which show his rich inventiveness, will also be displayed downstairs. His graphic works, too, often provide the starting-point for his paintings. Vogel, Carol (30 June 2014). "Bacon Painting Sets Pace for Auctions in London". The New York Times. We’ve been hearing a lot lately that “beauty” has been returning to art. The word is so overused it conveys little meaning, yet I can’t help saying that Peter Doig’s 12 paintings and 15 works on paper at the Arts Club are among the most beautiful works I’ve seen in Chicago recently. His landscapes, most based on photographs he collected from the media or took himself, are almost delirious confections that hover between scenes from reality and mental images. The beauty in them is not an absolute but a tentative, momentary experience of surprise and delight, making them part of the most significant trend in contemporary art–the rejection of the artist as revealer of truth in favor of the artist as conveyor of the incompleteness of human knowledge and the fragility of all human constructions.Peter Doig, Gasthof (2002–2004) Christie's Post-War & Contemporary Art Evening Auction, 1 July 2014, London. In the Romantic sense, Doig’s works convey a sense of yearning in which viewers can lose themselves. His representations of nature, which are often extremely mysterious, are as exotic as they are melancholy and as attractive as they are sinister.

The high prices have brought new problems. Doig paintings are so costly to insure that museums have to think twice about showing them. He’s had major exhibitions at the Tate, the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, the National Gallery of Scotland, the Louisiana Museum, in Denmark, and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, but nothing so far at MOMA, the Met, or other big museums in this country. Hitch Hiker” also gave him the idea of using his Canadian experience in his work. “I suddenly had a subject that I hadn’t had before,” he said. Canada had always seemed familiar and mundane to him, but now, in London, it became exciting. During his time at Chelsea, and for the next few years, Doig painted what he called “homely” suburban houses, frozen ponds, ski areas, and open fields. The houses in these early paintings look uninhabited and desolate, and you see them through a screen of trees or underbrush, or blurred by falling snow. (He went on to paint architect-designed houses—including Le Corbusier’s Unité d’Habitation in Briey-en-Forêt, France, half hidden behind a screen of trees.) He was painting spaces that you had to make an effort to look into. Jones, Jonathan (16 May 2015). "Stroke of genius: Peter Doig's eerie art whisks the mind to enchanted places". The Guardian.In 1994, Doig had solo shows at Victoria Miro and at Gavin Brown’s Enterprise, in New York, which represented Elizabeth Peyton, Rirkrit Tiravanija, and other rising young innovators. “Peter saw unfashionability as an asset, as a weapon,” Brown recalled recently. “At the height of the Y.B.A.s, it was clear that he would outlast them.” He was short-listed for the Turner Prize in 1994 (the sculptor Antony Gormley won it that year), and a year later he was invited to be an artist-trustee of the Tate. The critical establishment, though, was not convinced. “[It’s] hard to see what all the fuss is about,” Artforum grumbled in 2000. “Doig is overstating his understatement.” When a Belgian collector said to him, “Tell me why I should buy your paintings,” Doig couldn’t think of an answer. Gasthof zur Muldentalsperre, 2000-02 In 2003, Doig started a weekly film club called StudioFilmClub [16] in his studio together with Trinidadian artist Che Lovelace. Doig not only selects and screens the films; he also paints the poster advertising the week's film. He told an interviewer that he finds this ongoing project liberating because it is "much more immediate" than his usual work. [10] In 2005, he was one of the artists exhibited in part 1 of The Triumph of Painting at the Saatchi Gallery in London.

In the summer, he went to Canada, where he could stay with his parents and get well-paying jobs painting houses. In 1986, he and Kennedy spent Christmas with his parents at their home in Grafton, a small town on Lake Ontario, four hours west of Montreal. Kennedy had recently lost her job in London at Bodymap, a cutting-edge fashion house that went bankrupt, and a recession in the U.K. meant that new jobs were scarce. She was offered a position with a Montreal fashion firm called Le Château, so they decided to stay. They got married that fall, in the living room of his parents’ house. For the next couple of years, they lived in Montreal. Doig found work painting sets for films—just painting at first, and then designing them. He enjoyed this, but realized that film work was all-consuming, and not what he wanted to do. Eventually, he began spending more time at his parents’ house in Grafton, where he had a painting studio in the barn. “I was quite desperately searching, making things that seemed random,” he said.

Award of Excellence for Artistic Contributions to the Fight Against AIDS". amfAR, The Foundation for AIDS Research.Doig is a versatile artist who masters a wide range of techniques, drawn from both the present and the past. Generally representing people in nameless landscapes–in which motifs from Trinidad or Canada can frequently be recognised– his large-format paintings are often based on private pictorial material or found objects. Their colourfulness, luminosity and enigmatic atmosphere make them fascinating. Doig thereby continues the tradition of great masters such as Gauguin, Bonnard, and Matisse. En 2008, une grande exposition rétrospective lui a été consacrée, organisée par trois musées: la Tate Britain de Londres (février-mai), le musée d'art moderne de la ville de Paris (juin-septembre), et la Schirn (Schirn Kunsthalle ou Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt) de Francfort (octobre-janvier). Le musée des beaux-arts de Montréal, en collaboration avec la Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, présente sa propre exposition - la première d'envergure en Amérique du Nord - du 25 janvier au 4 mai 2014.
