Product Information

As a fascinating highlight of the extended presentation, Peter Doig will create a large mural at the Fondation Beyeler (also on the lower floor). Peinture de grand format, en dehors de toute référence conceptuelle et loin d'un post- expressionnisme abstrait américain, l'œuvre de Peter Doig s'inspire des romantiques allemands, du symbolisme de Munch ou du naturalisme d' Edward Hopper. In the Romantic sense, Doig’s works convey a sense of yearning in which viewers can lose themselves. His representations of nature, which are often extremely mysterious, are as exotic as they are melancholy and as attractive as they are sinister.

Philip Hoare, Peter Doig: New Paintings, Michael Werner and Gavin Brown's enterprise (2009), ISBN 978-1-885013-72-9 Peter Doig would participate in the 56th Venice Biennale, opening the Fondazione Bevilacque La masa. Further, on the secondary market his works have been sold for seven up to eight figures at auction. Doing so, Doig features in internationally reputed public and private collections, including the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA), Tate Modern in London, the British Museum n London, or the Museum of Modern Art in New York (MoMA). The works of the British painter Peter Doig (* 1959 in Edinburgh), who divides his time between Trinidad, London, and New York, are densely atmospheric and sometimes uncanny. They are often based on found or private images, which the artist pieces together into dreamlike compositions full of melancholy and angst. Employing an unusual color palette and possessing an immense sensitivity for his medium, Doig creates superb images, following in the footsteps of great masters such as Paul Gauguin, Pierre Bonnard, and Henri Matisse. This publication presents him as an artist with a conceptual practice—as a visual thinker who is not only fascinated by the history of painting but also the painting process itself. The largeformat paintings and works on paper reproduced in the volume allow the viewer to share Doig’s creative passion and his enthusiasm for the power of paint.The contemporary painter is one of Britains most important artists. His illustrious career is build upon an extensive body of paintings drenched in an enigmatic aura. Doig’s source material for his paintings is varied, most often drawing inspiration from photographs, films, etchings or personal memories. I wanted to be somewhere different,” Doig told me. “It was mostly for my work, but I also felt that Trinidad had affected my life, and I wanted the children to have that experience.” Lapeyrouse Wall, 2004

Aubrey Beardsley，1872年8月21日－1898年3月16日）。如果不是王尔德我都忘了他是英国人了，他那奥地利口味——世纪末、象征主义、唯美主义……我也乱了，有空再慢慢搞清楚。这很市民，也很文学，超了我的纲了。 Doig ist ein vielseitiger Künstler, der unterschiedlichste Maltechniken beherrscht, aus der Gegenwart wie aus der Vergangenheit. Seinen grossformatigen Gemälden, die meist Menschen in namenlosen Landschaften zeigen – in denen häufig Motive aus Trinidad oder Kanada zu erkennen sind, liegt oft privates oder gefundenes Bildmaterial zugrunde. Sie faszinieren durch ihre Farbigkeit, Leuchtkraft und Rätselhaftigkeit. Damit steht er in der Tradition grosser Meister wie Gauguin, Bonnard und Matisse.

The exhibition will present many of Doig’s famous large-format works, which will be mirrored and complemented by an installation on the lower floor. Examples of Doig’s eye-catching and highly innovative graphic works, which show his rich inventiveness, will also be displayed downstairs. His graphic works, too, often provide the starting-point for his paintings. In the summer, he went to Canada, where he could stay with his parents and get well-paying jobs painting houses. In 1986, he and Kennedy spent Christmas with his parents at their home in Grafton, a small town on Lake Ontario, four hours west of Montreal. Kennedy had recently lost her job in London at Bodymap, a cutting-edge fashion house that went bankrupt, and a recession in the U.K. meant that new jobs were scarce. She was offered a position with a Montreal fashion firm called Le Château, so they decided to stay. They got married that fall, in the living room of his parents’ house. For the next couple of years, they lived in Montreal. Doig found work painting sets for films—just painting at first, and then designing them. He enjoyed this, but realized that film work was all-consuming, and not what he wanted to do. Eventually, he began spending more time at his parents’ house in Grafton, where he had a painting studio in the barn. “I was quite desperately searching, making things that seemed random,” he said.

Born in 1959 in Edinburg, Scotland, Peter Doig is a contemporary painter living and working in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago. He is best known for his dreamlike paintings of lakes, canoes, cabins, forests, and more. In 1994, Doig had solo shows at Victoria Miro and at Gavin Brown’s Enterprise, in New York, which represented Elizabeth Peyton, Rirkrit Tiravanija, and other rising young innovators. “Peter saw unfashionability as an asset, as a weapon,” Brown recalled recently. “At the height of the Y.B.A.s, it was clear that he would outlast them.” He was short-listed for the Turner Prize in 1994 (the sculptor Antony Gormley won it that year), and a year later he was invited to be an artist-trustee of the Tate. The critical establishment, though, was not convinced. “[It’s] hard to see what all the fuss is about,” Artforum grumbled in 2000. “Doig is overstating his understatement.” When a Belgian collector said to him, “Tell me why I should buy your paintings,” Doig couldn’t think of an answer.
