Peter Doig

Developed from film stills, footage of actual events or photographs of urban and rural environments, Doig's paintings emanate a quiet, near-nostalgia, triggering the lingering sense of a long forgotten memory. His work often deals with subjects at the fringe of normality, peripheral or marginal sites, unnamed places, where the urban the the natural worlds collide - creating atmospheric paintings of disorienting perceptual experience. Published to accompany Doig's traveling retrospective, originating at Tate Britain, this publication provides the most thorough overview to date of Doig's more than two decades of work. Illus., 132 color/8 b&w. 160p.
