Peter Doig’s serene, fantastical paintings feature kaleidoscope landscapes punctuated by enigmatic, partially obscured figures. Doig frequently draws inspiration from his own memories of childhood in Canada; the blurred, ethereal quality of his canvases reflects the vagaries of time and recollection. His settings have ranged from calm oceans to deep forests, and canoes have served as a frequent motif. Doig has been the subject of solo shows at institutions including Tate Britain, the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris, and the Dallas Museum of Art. His work has sold for more than $10 million on the secondary market and belongs in the collections of the British Museum, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
