Peter Doig

Peter Doig ( ; born 17 April 1959) is a painter of Scottish nationality who has lived and worked between Trinidad, Canada, the USA, Germany and Britain. He settled in Trinidad with his family between 2002 and 2021, when he moved back to London.

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. Art critic 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."
