Peter Doig (b.1959) is spoken of as marking his paintings with immeasurable character of nature and its metaphysical powers, using his simple vocabulary (man, boat, water, snow).
“Amid all the nonsense, impostors, rhetorical bullshit and sheer trash that pass for art in the 21st century, Doig is a jewel of genuine imagination, sincere work and humble creativity” spoke art critic Jonathan Jones.
habitat extends an invitation to Doig to make the uncanny characteristics of the environment closing in on him come magic once more. Will he? Can he? Should he? (Man, wall, ceiling, floor).
Peter Doig has exhibited internationally at Tate Britain, London; Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris; Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt; Dallas Museum of Art; Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich; Bonnefanten Museum, Maastricht; Whitechapel Art Gallery, London; Scottish National Gallery, Edinburgh; Montreal Museum of Fine Arts; Fondation Beyeler, Riehen/Basel; Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebæk; Fondazione Bevilacqua La Masa, Venice; Michael Werner Gallery, New York; and The Courtauld Gallery, London.
