Best known for his uncanny landscapes, Doig's work takes in a range of subjects inspired by his personal experiences, from snowscapes and ski scenes reminiscent of childhood memories from Canada, to beach and jungle scenes from Trinidad. In 2007, his painting ''White Canoe'' (1990-91) sold at [[Sotheby's]] for $11.3 million, then an [[auction]] record for a living European artist.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2007-02-08 |title=Peter Doig 'Canoe' Painting Gets $10 Million |publisher=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/08/business/08auction.html |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20231110152810/https://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/08/business/08auction.html |archive-date=2023-11-10 |access-date=2024-12-17 |language=en}}</ref> Art critic [[Jonathan Jones (journalist)|Jonathan Jones]] said about him: "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."<ref>{{Cite news |last=Jones |first=Jonathan |date=16 May 2015 |title=Stroke of genius: Peter Doig's eerie art whisks the mind to enchanted places |work=[[The Guardian]] |url=https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2015/may/16/peter-doig-painting-art-scotland}}</ref>

==Early life==
Peter Doig was born in [[Edinburgh]], Scotland, in 1959. In 1962, he moved with his family to Trinidad, where his father worked with a shipping and trading company, and then in 1966 to Canada.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Peter Doig - Artists - Michael Werner Gallery, New York, London, Beverly Hills, Athens |url=https://www.michaelwerner.com/artists/peter-doig |access-date=2024-12-17 |website=www.michaelwerner.com |language=en}}</ref> After boarding school in Scotland and working on a gas rig in western Canada, he moved to [[London]] to study at the [[Wimbledon School of Art]] in 1979–1980, where he was taught by [[Neil Stokoe]], followed by [[Saint Martin's School of Art]] from 1980 to 1983 and [[Chelsea School of Art]] from 1989–1990, where he received an [[Master of Arts|MA]].<ref>{{cite web | url=https://shapersofthe80s.com/2023/02/10/2023-➤-dont-let-zeros-dazzle-you-in-front-of-doigs-broody-paintings/ | title=Don't let zeros cloud your vision in front of Doig's broody paintings | publisher=Shapersofthe80s | date=10 February 2023 | accessdate=14 February 2023}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Adams |first=Tim |date=26 January 2008 |title=Record painter |work=The Guardian |location=London |url=https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2008/jan/27/art}}</ref> In 1989, the artist held a part-time job as a [[dresser (theatre)|dresser]] at the [[English National Opera]].<ref>Peter Doig, ''[http://www.christies.com/lotfinder/paintings/peter-doig-gasthof-5813474-details.aspx?intObjectID=5813474 Gasthof]'' (2002–2004) [[Christie's]] Post-War & Contemporary Art Evening Auction, 1 July 2014, London.</ref>

Doig was invited to return to [[Trinidad and Tobago|Trinidad]] in 2000, to take up an artist's residency with his friend and fellow painter, [[Chris Ofili]].<ref>{{Cite news |last=Cottam |first=F.

He also became a professor at the [[Kunstakademie Düsseldorf|Fine Arts Academy]] in [[Düsseldorf]], Germany, where he was a faculty member until 2017.<ref>{{Cite web |title=History - Kunstakademie Düsseldorf |url=https://www.kunstakademie-duesseldorf.de/en/akademie/130-history |access-date=2024-12-17 |website=www.kunstakademie-duesseldorf.de |language=en}}</ref><ref name="gowest">{{Cite news |title=Peter Doig: Go West, Young Man |work=[[British Council]] |url=http://www.britishcouncil.de/e/events/doig06.htm |url-status=dead |access-date=29 May 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110927002420/http://www.britishcouncil.de/e/events/doig06.htm |archive-date=27 September 2011 |df=dmy-all}}</ref>

==Artistic practice==
A Doig painting often starts with an idea.<ref name="Tomkins " >[[Calvin Tomkins]], ''Somewhere Different'', [[The New Yorker]], December 11, 2017, pp. 54ff.</ref> Many of Doig's paintings are [[Landscape art|landscapes]] with a number harking back to the snowy scenes of his childhood in Canada, and others inspired by the scenery in Trinidad. He draws inspiration for his figurative work from a range of sources including photographs, newspaper clippings, movie scenes, record album covers, as well as being the inheritor of art history from European to Canadian art<ref>{{cite book |last1=Dejardin |first1=Ian |title="A Life of Emily Carr". From the Forest to the Sea ed. Sarah Milroy, Ian Dejardin |date=2014 |publisher=Art Gallery of Ontario and Goose Lane Editions |location=Toronto and Fredericton |isbn=978-1-894243-77-3 |page=234|url=https://library.gallery.ca/search~S1?/aMilroy%2C+Sarah/amilroy+sarah/1%2C1%2C36%2CB/frameset&FF=amilroy+sarah&36%2C%2C36 |access-date=10 April 2025}}</ref> and earlier artists such as [[Edvard Munch]],<ref>{{Cite news |last=Glueck |first=Grace |date=6 December 2002 |title=Peter Doig |work=[[The New York Times]] |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2002/12/06/arts/art-in-review-peter-doig.html}}</ref> [[H. C. Westermann]], [[Caspar David Friedrich|Friedrich]], [[Claude Monet|Monet]], and [[Gustav Klimt|Klimt]]. While his works are frequently based on found [[photograph]]s (and sometimes on his own) they are not painted in a [[photorealism|photorealist]] style. In a 2008 interview, Doig referred to his use of photographs and postcards as painting "by proxy" and noted that his paintings "made no attempt to reflect setting".<ref name="Diane Solway " >{{Cite news |last=Solway |first=Diane |date=November 2008 |title=Peter Doig |work=W magazine |url=http://www.wmagazine.com/artdesign/2008/11/peter_doig?currentPage=1 |access-date=20 November 2008}}</ref>

Shortly after Doig's graduation from the [[Chelsea College of Arts]], he was awarded the prestigious Whitechapel Artist Prize culminating in a solo exhibition at the [[Whitechapel Art Gallery]] in 1991. Included in the Whitechapel exhibition were ''Swamped'' (1990), ''Iron Hill'' (1991), and ''The Architect's Home in the Ravine'' (1991), now considered among Doig's major works. ''The Architect's Home in the Ravine'' (1991) shows [[Eberhard Zeidler (architect)|Eberhard Zeidler]]'s modernist central Toronto home in the [[Rosedale, Toronto|Rosedale]] ravine.<ref name="christies.com " >{{Cite web |title=Artist CV, Victoria Miro gallery |url=https://www.victoria-miro.com/usr/documents/artists/biography_document_EN/30/doig-cv.pdf}}</ref>

Traces of human civilisation in natural settings are a cornerstone of Doig's works, and his so-called 'Concrete Cabins' are exemplary of this theme.<ref name=":0 " /> As well as private homes and other dwellings in Canada and the USA, Doig created a series of paintings and works on paper of [[Le Corbusier]]'s modernist communal living apartments known as ''l'[[Unité d'Habitation of Briey|Unité d’Habitation]]'' located at [[Briey-en-Forêt]], in France. In 1991, Doig was involved with a group of architects and artists known as La Première Rue who worked on the restoration of the building.<ref name=":0 " >{{Cite web |last=Christie's |date=2020 |title=Peter Doig 'Boiler House', Lot 110 |url=https://www.christies.com/en/lot/lot-6285717 |access-date=27 February 2025 |website=Christie's}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Features |first=Elly Parsons last updated in |date=2018-02-20 |title=The hidden Le Corbusier connection in Peter Doig's landmark painting |url=https://www.wallpaper.com/art/peter-doig-the-architects-home-in-the-ravine |access-date=2024-12-17 |website=wallpaper.com |language=en}}</ref> The modern urban structures are partially revealed and hidden by the forest that surrounds them, a characteristic Doig explores in his works of the subject. Doig explained, "I had no idea that I might paint the building, I just was there sort of literally scrapping paint off the inside of the building, scraping the varnish off. But then, you know, walking around the building and taking photographs of it, I realised that the photographs reminded me of some of the paintings I had already made, and I thought, ‘Maybe I could paint- maybe paint this building as well’. So, I started experimenting with these, you know, drawings and photographing and filming it and getting more and more excited about what I was seeing, really."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Doig |first=Peter |date=2018 |title=Groundwork: Peter Doig and Matthew Higgs in conversation |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q23w1cBFHC0 |access-date=27 February 2025 |website=YouTube}}</ref>

Pop culture references also occur frequently in Doig's work. Created in the late 1990s, a series of paintings and works on paper – including works such as ''Country-Rock (Wing Mirror)'' (1999) – depict a tunnel, a familiar landmark for Toronto residents since an anonymous artist painted a rainbow over it, at the northbound [[Don Valley Parkway]], in 1972. The rainbow has been repainted more than 40 times over two decades, despite authorities’ attempts to remove it.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Vogel |first=Carol |date=30 June 2014 |title=Bacon Painting Sets Pace for Auctions in London |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/01/arts/design/bacon-painting-sets-pace-for-auctions-in-london.html}}</ref> His 1997 painting ''Canoe-Lake'' was inspired by the 1980 [[Slasher film|slasher]] film ''[[Friday the 13th (1980 film)|Friday the 13th]]''.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Jeffries |first=Stuart |date=15 February 2002 |title=Peter Doig: the outsider comes home |work=The Guardian |url=https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2012/sep/05/peter-doig-outsider-comes-home}}</ref> In 2003, Doig started a weekly film club called StudioFilmClub<ref>[http://studiofilmclub.blogspot.co.uk/ StudioFilmClub] blog.</ref> in his studio together with Trinidadian artist [[Che Lovelace]]. Doig not only selected and screened the films; he also painted posters advertising the week's film. He told an interviewer that he found this ongoing project liberating because it was "much more immediate" than his usual work.<ref name="Diane Solway " />

==Exhibitions==
Doig has had major solo exhibitions at [[Tate Britain]] (2008), touring to [[Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris]] and [[Schirn Kunsthalle]] Frankfurt;<ref>{{Cite news |last=Sweeney |first=Charlene |date=11 February 2007 |title=National Galleries eyes up Doig after £5.7m sale |work=[[Sunday Herald]] |url=http://www.sundayherald.com/news/heraldnews/display.var.1185372.0.national_galleries_eyes_up_doig_after_5_7m_sale.php}}</ref> [[Dallas Museum of Art]] (2005); [[Pinakothek der Moderne]], Munich (2004); [[Bonnefanten Museum]], Maastricht (2003); and [[Whitechapel Art Gallery]], London (1998).<ref name="victoria-miro.com " >{{Cite web |title=Peter Doig |url=http://www.victoria-miro.com/artists/_30/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161021001556/http://www.victoria-miro.com/artists/_30/ |archive-date=21 October 2016 |access-date=12 May 2015 |publisher=Victoria Miro |df=dmy-all}}</ref> In 2005, he was one of the artists exhibited in part 1 of ''The Triumph of Painting'' at the [[Saatchi Gallery]] in London. Doig's first major exhibition in his home country was entitled ''No Foreign Lands'', taking place in the [[Scottish National Gallery]], in [[Edinburgh]], from 3 August to 3 November 2013. It was critically acclaimed and showed works created in the previous ten years, mostly during his residence in Trinidad.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Peter Doig – No Foreign Lands |url=http://www.nationalgalleries.org/whatson/exhibitions/peter-doig |access-date=12 May 2015 |publisher=National Galleries of Scotland}}</ref>

The [[Montreal Museum of Fine Arts]], in collaboration with the [[Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art]], presented his own exhibition, the first major held in North America, from 25 January to 4 May 2014. A [[retrospective]] opened at [[Fondation Beyeler]], Basel, in 2014, which travelled in 2015 to [[Louisiana Museum of Modern Art]] in [[Humlebaek]], Denmark. Also in 2015, an exhibition of recent works opened at Fondazione Bevilacqua La Masa in [[Venice]], Italy, coinciding with the 56th Venice Biennale. Recently his work was included in the group exhibition ''Cooperations'' at Fondation Beyeler (2017).<ref>{{Cite web |date=24 October 2017 |title=Fondation Beyler |url=https://www.fondationbeyeler.ch/en/exhibitions/beyeler-collection/ |access-date=24 October 2017 |website=Fondation Beyler}}</ref> From 6 September to 16 November 2019, [[Michael Werner Gallery]] hosted an exhibition of new paintings by Doig.<ref>{{Cite web |title=A magnificent testament to an enchantingly quirky artist |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/art/reviews/peter-doig-paintings-michael-werner-gallery-review-magnificent |publisher=[[The Daily Telegraph|The Telegraph]]}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Peter Doig review – sun, sea and savagery in a troubled paradise |url=https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2017/dec/18/peter-doig-review-michael-werner-gallery-london |work=[[The Guardian]]}}</ref>

In February 2023 a four-month exhibition of new and recent works by Peter Doig opened at London’s [[Courtauld Gallery]] comprising 12 paintings and 20 works on paper. Most of these paintings were completed in London since his return from Trinidad in 2021, including ''Alpinist'', ''Canal'', ''Bather'', ''Music Shop'', ''House of Music (Soca Boat)'', ''Self-Portrait (Fernandes Compound)'' and ''Alice at Boscoe’s''. He was the first contemporary artist to show at the Courtauld since its redevelopment and his display of painterly skills was widely admired by critics.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2023/feb/08/artist-peter-doig-cezanne-renoir-monet | title='I'm going to get a beating' – artist Peter Doig on taking on Cézanne, Renoir, Monet and more | first=Stuart | last=Jeffries | work=The Guardian | date=8 February 2023 | accessdate=14 February 2023}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/art/reviews/peter-doig-courtauld-review-modern-masters-unsettling-voice/ | title=Peter Doig, review: This modern master's unsettling voice rings out loud and clear | first=Samuel | last=Reilly | publisher=Daily Telegraph | date=9 February 2023 | accessdate=14 February 2023}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.thetimes.com/article/peter-doig-review-courtauld-gallery-g78dqjvvb | title=Peter Doig review – in an enchanting world of his own | first=Chloë | last=Ashby | work=[[The Times]] | date=9 February 2023 | access-date=14 February 2023}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://news.artnet.com/art-world/peter-doig-courtauld-london-2253405 | title='Outsider' Artist Peter Doig's New Paintings Find New Neighbors: Van Gogh and Manet | first=Vivienne | last=Chow | publisher=Artnet | date=10 February 2023 | accessdate=14 February 2023}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.standard.co.uk/culture/exhibitions/peter-doig-courtauld-gallery-review-painting-london-trinidad-b1058857.html | title=Peter Doig at the Courtauld Gallery review: magnificence among the masters | first=Ben | last=Luke | publisher=Evening Standard | date=10 February 2023 | accessdate=14 February 2023}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url= https://www.forbes.com/sites/nargessbanks/2023/02/10/peter-doigs-new-exhibition-at-the-courtauld-is-a-lively-and-lyrical-show/ | title=Doig's New Exhibition At The Courtauld Is A Lively And Lyrical Show | first=Nargess | last=Banks | work=Forbes | date=10 February 2023 | accessdate=14 February 2023}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.timeout.com/london/art/peter-doig-2 | title=Peter Doig, Time Out says | first=Eddy | last=Frankel | publisher=Time Out | date=13 January 2023 | accessdate=14 February 2023}}</ref> In late 2023 and into 2024, the [[Musée d'Orsay|Musée d'Orsay, Paris]], hosted two exhibitions by Doig, one showcasing a selection of his large-scale works, including ''Two Trees'' (2017), and the other a selection of historic works from the museum collection, chosen by Doig.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Exhibition Peter Doig {{!}} Musée d'Orsay |url=https://www.musee-orsay.fr/en/whats-on/exhibitions/peter-doig |access-date=2024-12-17 |website=www.musee-orsay.fr |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Peter Doig at the Musée d'Orsay |url=https://heni.com/talks/peter-doig-musee-dorsay |access-date=2024-12-17 |website=HENI Talks |language=en}}</ref>

==Art market==
In 2007, a painting of Doig's entitled ''White Canoe'' (1990-91) sold at [[Sotheby's]] for $11.3 million, then an auction record for a work by a living European artist. Paul Schimmel, chief curator at the [[Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles]] said in an interview that the sale made Doig go from being "a hero to other painters to a poster child of the excesses of the market".<ref name="Diane Solway " />

In 2009, ''Night Playground'' (1997–98), a densely painted landscape painting being sold by Joel Mallin, a New York collector, went for $5 million at a [[Christie's]] auction in London, well above its high estimate of $3 million.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Vogel |first=Carol |date=30 June 2009 |title=Bidding Is Thin at Christie's in London |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/01/arts/design/01auction.html}}</ref> Also at Christie's London, ''The Architect’s Home in the Ravine'' (1991) was auctioned at £7.66 million in early 2013.
