Bernhard Schwenk and Hilke Wagner, Peter Doig: Metropolitain, Walther Koenig (2004), ISBN 978-3-88375-833-6 Taking Friedrich’s iconography to the edge of kitsch, Doig stops just short of irony–because he believes in romance, using everything in his painter’s arsenal to give it new life. The stars in his evening sky are irregular shapes that almost magically suggest the twinkling of real stars. The two trees flanking the figure are painted as nearly transparent fields of color, and the painterly smears and drips in the foreground are another reference to painting itself. Doig’s willingness to mix three or four styles gives the painting its delicacy: each contrasts with the others, encouraging us to see that no one form of representation, no one way of seeing, is right–and that reality and our perceptions of it are unstable and worth celebrating in all their variety.

Artist Peter Doig wins case over painting he said was not his work". BBC News. 24 August 2016 . Retrieved 24 August 2016.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. 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.

A tall, bearded man in white shorts walks across a tropical beach, glaring at the viewer. He is dragging something behind him, something we can’t quite see, because it’s in deep shadow, but the walker has just come into an abstract wash of whitish-blue paint—late-afternoon sunlight breaking through overhead palm trees—and his features are clearly visible. There is something troubling about this bearded man. The painting, although startlingly beautiful in its velvety, deep-viridian play of light and shadow, makes us uneasy. There’s a story here, one that may not end well, but we don’t know what it is.

Shortly after Doig's graduation from the Chelsea College of Arts, he was awarded the prestigious Whitechapel Artist Prize culminating in a solo exhibition at the Whitechapel Art Gallery in 1991. Included in the Whitechapel exhibition were major works including Swamped (1990), Iron Hill (1991), and The Architect's Home in the Ravine (1991). The Architect's Home in the Ravine (1991) shows Eberhard Zeidler's modernist home in Rosedale at the heart of the Toronto ravine. Londres : l’art sensuel et transgressif de Carolee Schneemann, icône féministe et pionnière de la performance 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. His unique style receives recognition from the early 1990s and onwards. Doig would exhibited at major institutions, encompassing the Tate Britain, Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt, the Dallas Museum of Art, the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich, the Bonnefanten Museum in Maastricht, the Whitechapel Art Gallery in London, the Scottish National Gallery in Edinburg, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, Fondation Beyeler in Basel or the Louisiane Museum of Modern Art in Humlebaek. Dem in Trinidad, London und New York lebenden und arbeitenden britischen Maler Peter Doig widmet die Fondation Beyeler eine Ausstellung, die seine bedeutendsten Gemälde präsentiert. Doig, 1959 in Edinburgh geboren, wuchs in Trinidad und Kanada auf. Er ist ausserdem Professor für Malerei an der Kunstakademie Düsseldorf.

Doig ist ein vielseitiger Künstler, der unterschiedlichste Maltechniken beherrscht, aus der Gegenwart wie aus der Vergangenheit. Seinen grossformatigen Gemälden, die meist Menschen in namenlosen Landschaften zeigen – in denen häufig Motive aus Trinidad oder Kanada zu erkennen sind, liegt oft privates oder gefundenes Bildmaterial zugrunde. Sie faszinieren durch ihre Farbigkeit, Leuchtkraft und Rätselhaftigkeit. Damit steht er in der Tradition grosser Meister wie Gauguin, Bonnard und Matisse. Peter Doig, Gasthof (2002–2004) Christie's Post-War & Contemporary Art Evening Auction, 1 July 2014, London. Doig created a series of paintings of Le Corbusier’s modernist communal living apartments known as l’Unité d’Habitation located at Briey-en-Forêt, in France. In the early 1990s Doig was involved with a group of architects and artists who operated from the building. 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."
