Peter Doig


British Painter (born 1959)



Gasthof (2004)

Echo Lake (1998)



"Doig is interested in images that have a universal familiarity and tap into our collective sense of memory. His paintings often seem strangely familiar, highlighting the fact that in the modern age memories have become photographic. Seldom can clear distinctions be made between memories based on direct experience and those that are mechanically mediated. "
