Peter Doig: A Master of Captivating Landscapes

Peter Doig, a renowned contemporary painter, has captivated art enthusiasts across the globe with his mesmerizing and enigmatic landscapes. His unique style and masterful use of color and texture have solidified his position as one of the most influential artists of our time.

His paintings are characterized by their equal focus on both landscapes and figures, melding art historical and personal references into painterly abstractions with distinctive compositions. By forming powerful and affecting snapshots of contemporary existence—such as a childhood ski trip or an orange canoe—Doig’s works are both diaristic and universally relevant.

With an impressive body of work that has garnered critical acclaim and international recognition, acquiring a piece by Peter Doig is not just an investment in art, but an invitation to experience the sublime. Each brushstroke tells a story, each composition invites introspection, and each painting whispers secrets waiting to be discovered. For collectors looking to elevate their art collection with a piece that transcends time and space, Peter Doig's oeuvre offers an unparalleled opportunity.

In 2007 Doig became Europe’s most valuable living painter when his White Canoe sold for $11.3m. Now Doig is back living in London and his exhibition of new and recent work at the Courtauld Gallery finds him showing alongside many of his Impressionist and Post-Impressionist heroes.
