Peter Doig

Exhibition at The Courtauld, London, 10 February - 29 May 2023

Scottish artist Peter Doig (1959-) is widely recognised as one of the world's leading artists. He gained his reputation in the 1990s as a figurative painter, producing large-scale immersive landscape paintings that exist somewhere between real places and the realms of the imagination. His works are often linked to the places where he has lived and worked. In 2021 Doig returned to London where he set up a new studio in which he developed paintings begun in Trinidad, New York and elsewhere, as well as creating new work, including a London subject.

This exhibition catalogue presents a range of Doig's recent paintings and prints, including a new series of prints Doig made in response to poems by his friend and Nobel Prize-winning poet Derek Walcott (1930-2017). The book explores how the artist recomposes and reinvents the traditions and practices of painting to create his own works while revealing his current artistic concerns.
