Peter Doig (b.1959) is one of the most renowned living figurative painters. In 2021 his painting ‘Swamped’ sold at auction for £30 million He studied at Wimbledon School of Art, St Martins and Chelsea College of Arts and has exhibited extensively in museums around the world.
His serene, fantastical paintings feature kaleidoscope landscapes, punctuated by enigmatic, partially obscured figures. Doig frequently draws inspiration from his own memories of childhood… the blurred, ethereal quality reflects the vagaries of time and recollection.
The artist’s canoe paintings are seen as icons of contemporary art. Born out of a dream sequence in the 1980 film ‘Friday the 13th’, Doig returns time and again to the image of a solitary canoe, its reflection in the water is a fantasy mirror to the unknown. This print was produced in 2008 by The Tate Gallery. The colour palette of pastel blue and green is reminiscent of the Trinidadian Cyril’s Bay.
