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.
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.
In 1962, at the age of three, the Doig family moved to Trinidad, before moving to Canada in 1966. During the late 1970s and early 1980s, the Scottish painter returned to the United Kingdom to complete his MA in London. At the turn of the millennium, Doig established his permanent studio in Trinidad’s capital, where he continues to reside and work in close contact with Britain.
Peter Doig developed a distinctively figurative visual language. His paintings refer most often to personal memories from his childhood in Canada. In an expressive manner, Doig takes on the selected found source material and layers his landscapes formally, and conceptually.

Love Doig’s work.
Great painter indeed
Amazing use of colors. And attention to details.
Spot on! Thank you for tuning in
39 million dollars!! Life is good. Humility with out smugness is a type of character few have. All artist have a genius in them but few in abundance. The abundance of his vision is astounding. The descriptions of his work were insightful. The analogies, metaphors and expressed allusions were perfect.
Artists see nothing of the secondary market money.
thank you. great summation.
The pleasure is all mine. Thank you for tuning in!
The very best of the best! Love his work above any other! 😍
Rightfully so! Terrific artist!
Very impressive. I loved learning about where Doig draws his inspiration from. Thank you for this video!
The pleasure is all mine! Thank you for tuning in and have a great day
@@contemporaryartissue thank you! You as well 🙂
Excellent - very informative! Doig is such an important figure.
Thank you so much for tuning, the pleasure is all mine. He sure is!
I agree there’s only so much an art education can do.
Great
Thank you so much Sharon!
Really enjoyed this video! Would love to see one about Luc Tuymans!
Thank you for tuning in! Yes, Tuymans is definitely on our to-do list!
Quality story
Thanks!
Very interesting! As a Canadian, I can definitely see how his time here influenced his work.
That's very interesting to hear. Thank you for tuning in!
Yes, my first impression of Peter's work gives, to me at least, a strong resemblance of the work of the Group of Seven from the early 20th century. One of the forerunners of the Group was Tom Thompson who lived and painted on Canoe Lake in the Algonquin Park Ontario.
Does anyone know the name of that last painting at 8:52 ? Really struggling to find it, cheers!
Thirty-nine million, some people have too much money. I briefly saw one large blue painting hanging on display. I would like to see that one closer up.
alot of money laundering in that league of the art market
Do you know anything about his paint or its application? I once heard that he re-saturates dried or nearly dry oil paint to create very watery layers. I wish I know if this was true or not.
I haven't heard this before, nor have I found it in literature while doing the research for this video. But I believe it could be true for sure. Thank you for tuning in!
I love the narrators voice
Thank you so much, and thanks for tuning in!
I should really like this video, as I enjoy the artist’s work. But it’s been spoiled by the tracking shots which I, who am partially sighted cannot see. If you want to show art, please remember accessibility, and us show the art. Paining is essentially a static form, let it be so
I use these videos as a jumping off place for artists I like. I'll then do a web search for the artist by name, and click on Images. There you'll find the static images you seek. Another tip is to click on the small icon to the left, with 3 bars with lines thru them. Click HD to view High Definition images so you can zoom in on paintings in greater detail. I'll often save such images and create a gallery of artists I like.
Hope that helps.
Dear Jimmy, sorry to hear you have found it difficult to view the art well. We have combined static shots with panning shots. The static shots show the entire picture, the panned shots travel across the canvas and zoom in on certain details. Feel free to pause the video whenever you want to have a closer look. But above all, thank you for your valuable feedback, we have taken note and appreciate your honesty! Thank you for tuning in and have a great day
Excellent point! Thank you, Thomas. Best wishes, JD
I can't help but imagine the narrator trying to tackle the accent wearing a tailcoat and a monocle
Terrific comment! Makes my day. Thank you for tuning in
I sense a connection to Gauguin
Yes, I agree. Thank you for tuning in!
Michael Andrews is Doig's primary influence. A brilliant painter though and a massive influence on younger painters.
@@MrPrimalire Never heard of him, but you're right. I can definitely see the connection. Did Doig study under him?
@@tthomas184 I don't know. Andrews is the generation of Francis Bacon. He was always the quiet type and I think his work is only getting the recognition in recent years. Also Andrews had a small output, only some 80 paintings made it through I think. Btw, if you are interested, I have just posted an interesting video on the parallels between visual art and music on my channel. Comment if you care.
@@MrPrimalire Vermeer had less. It took hundreds of years for him to be discovered and celebrated. Leonardo also had a small output. But it does seem in general artists with a small output fare less well while they are alive.
I'll check out your channel. I love music and art, so your topic interests me. Thanks!
This video completely ignores his early 1980s works and his first London exhibition (which I had the pleasure of attending) back then...his career did not start in the 1990s he was doing great work in the '80s which recently became a major show at the Michael Werner gallery!
Very good point. His career skyrocketed in the 90s, but indeed his earlier works can not be overseen so easily. I agree! Thank you for tuning in and for adding this to the discussion
@@contemporaryartissue thank you.
sigmar polke next please🙏🏼
He is on our list for sure! We have a different video on "Durer's Rabbit" by Polke as well. Thank you for tuning in!
no need to answer.. it's just a thought~
🤔.. wouldn't {🎂----> 🖼..}. & all the resent "madness" surrounding the current state of the art world/museums.. be a cool topic for "contemporary art issues" to try and explain how we got to this point in time.. how.. we can fix it.. & where it's All possibly headed.. ?? *(..just confused on what is happening.).. .
This "madness" is just a fraction of the art world, the top 1% sales. The other 99% of sales, the art market and the art world are actually allright. There was a similar video lately on RUclips titled "How Money Killed Art. And how we take it back", but I wasn't too fond of it. It was full of misconceptions and especially many popular sensational statements without any clear foundation of truth. Maybe we should make a video on this topic indeed!
😮~!!
i sure, u reminded me of the very video your talking about.. *i recall ~through ur description. ..okay!
coming back & making sense.. Ty!
@@michaeldahmenART My pleasure!
Need sell art so can escape from Perth can u help me
what does it need to became famous painter?
I highly recommend you to read our article on this question: www.contemporaryartissue.com/how-to-succeed-as-a-painter-artist-everything-you-actually-need-to-know/ Have a great day!
@@contemporaryartissue The article you linked to I think has basic good steps to follow, but in the case of Peter Doig, let's face it: he was among the very few anointed by the art world elites to have his work sell for extremely high prices, not every artist can get those same prices Peter Doig is getting. BTW you did a nice presentation about Mr. Doig.
Buongiorno
non vi interesserebbe fare un video sulla mia pittura.
Potrebbe essere qualcosa di diverso.
Complimenti per il vostro canale.
Dear Angelo, feel free to write us at info@contemporaryartissue.com for any further assistance. Have a great day and thank you for tuning in!
Hard to listen . Where Art is . Words get in the way .
Well said! The video is as good or for some even better when muted.
Tick box painting done from blown up photos.
Isnt this a bit exaggerated ?
'
photo painting is PAINTING by NUMBERS...any regard can do it...boo she
Doig has admitted he uses projected images 80% of the time. He never bothered to learn to draw freehand. His figures are strictly cutouts. He is good with color, however.
@@BartlowGallery hes more interested in the silhouette
@@BartlowGallery Yes, this is a mistake. Since Doig committed to doing essentially figurative art, it would have been prudent to take a few life drawing classes. That way he could just paint feet instead of having to hide them behind a pile of sand (6:12)
Photography in general, unfortunately can capture far, far too less compared to any masterfully realized painting.
Unfortunately you cant photo peter doigs technique. Unless you go to some down syndrome art school for kids.
When did he lose the plot?
When he won JM first prize.
Lousy figure in that picture yet great paint surfaces and colors and very interesting pictorial compositions in his work, though not much of a draughtsman really.
He moved with the 'times'... And whilst his prices went astronomic as a result, the sublime left his vision.
I don't believe the astronomic prices have affected Doig too much as he clearly distances himself from the "madness of the secondary market" to use the artist's words. I believe his is very consistent, true and genuine when it comes to his painterly practice up to this very day. Thank you for tuning in and for the interesting comment!
@@contemporaryartissue I loved his Canadian landscapes and the Bonnard style, but now his art is more figure so less of the sublime where I think his best skills of apprehension lie. keep on posting the interesting vids. because most people can't get to see contemporary painting at select gallery shows.
@@contemporaryartissue How many ski sleds does Doig want? How much money for Ghenie to live in Cluj? Why does Frankie de Wankie Tory want a 1000 of those for value? Why one artist making 1000 works and 1000 artists perish for it? Surely the value is in the rarity of the product not a faux-notion of rare genius and bad art.
Why not 15,000 genius art famous and five works each like Seurat and Vermeer?
Why me on benefit and die off please, says Saatchi etc. for poor Hockneys worth nothing?
Why praise obsessive compulsive disorder as the artist psyche to buy into?
How many tears does Trace Emin need to sob on to her crocodile shoes to get in the zone for more mediocre production for Frank?
I agree. Love his landscapes. His figure paintings are poorly painted, and uninteresting . But a few are good, with some magic there. I'll hope for the best over time.
@@pstotto @tthomas Interesting concerning the shift of emphasizing the landscape to emphasizing the figure. We will certainly continue to do so! Thank you
Once again nothing new in the art world. Looks like rehashed David Hackney
Not at all according to my humble opinion! Different subjects, different subject matter, different way of painting. Thank you for tuning in!
@@contemporaryartissue simply changing the subject doesn’t equate anything revolutionary. It’s nothing more than David Hockney paintings with different images. So let’s get real and stop thinking “anyone” is coming up with something revolutionary new and innovative. Even Basquiat was nothing but a modern graffiti version of Picasso. Today art is nothing but a recycled version of what’s been explored before. It’s all now nothing but a business just as music. It’s all just a promotional business of marketing.
Mary Boone proved Art was nothing but a marketing scam. Today it’s just nothing but an ornamentation to an architectural space. Nothing new or revolutionary. Art has reached its bullshit realm. Marcel Duchamp thought he had exposed that “art” concept with his urinal, but it actually didn’t reach that finality until the 60s, dunce then it’s just been a shit show of plays on revisionist things others have done. Art has become a “what can I bullshit” you into believing of its innovative brilliant artsiness. Here let me spray some graffiti and call it great art for a million dollars because it’s never been done before. Yes so revolutionary and innovative.
I suggest you actually invest some time in art history (post war). It’s all been done. Today it’s just a marketing game. Ask Mary Boone
@@jvs333 Why should art be revolutionary to be any good? Modernist thinking implied art had to be innovative to be good, progress for the sake of progress. However, this vision was very disconcerting, leaving us alienated, paving the way for postmodern art. So your reasoning is the result of the obstinate legacy of Modernism. We are six to seven decades later, so this statement is as irrelevant as it is obsolete according to my humble opinion. Further, saying art is nothing more than a promotional business of marketing is a very blunt statement, and an insult to all artists who are dedicating their life to art. Drop the anarchism and cynicism, approach every artist with an open mind and look for the beautiful instead of for searching for a stick to wield.
@@contemporaryartissue my point was art is now nothing more than architectural accessory. The era of art being an innovative revolutionary imaginary expansion is over. It’s now nothing but a decorative architectural commodity (furniture). All the innovative creative approaches have been explored. There is nothing new other than something technological that has yet exposed something new
@@contemporaryartissue never said art does not have beauty or should it have to. My comment was that it’s become a business like anything of value does. As for the creative aspect of it very seldom is someone actually creating or doing something new and brilliant.
Ok. The problem for me is that these paintings are not very good.
super paintings, bad narration
