Statement & Biography

Peter Doig

Statement:

I sometimes wish I had never had to sell a painting. Every painting you make represents the time it was made and how you were feeling and what your influences were. It represents a stage in your development and in that sense, it is unique. You are never going to feel that way again, so you can never repeat it. Because the paintings represent so much, I do sometimes wish I still had them.

Biography:

Born in Scotland in 1959 but raised in Canada, Peter Doig moved to London in 1979 where he studied at Wimbledon, St Martin's and Chelsea Schools of Art. He first gained public recognition in 1991 on winning the Whitechapel Art Gallery's Artist Award, and from then on continued to consolidate his reputation as one of the very finest figurative artists of his generation. Often referencing photograph and film, but transforming such sources into dream-like, almost mystical imagery, Doig's work typically explores man's interaction with an emotionally charged physical environment. The artist currently lives and works in Trinidad.
