Peter Doig's figurative paintings have an enigmatic, dreamlike quality. The artist draws inspiration from childhood memories of growing up in Canada as well as his more recent life spent in Trindad. Doig combines these personal memories with images sourced from photographs and films to craft works that exist in fantastical, timeless spaces—creating compositions that feel both personal and universal.
