Tate Britain Exhibition

Peter Doig

5 February – 11 May 2008
Exhibition banner for Peter Doig at Tate Britain

Peter Doig made his name during the early 1990s with his distinctive approach to figurative painting.

Spanning the last two decades, this major survey brings together over 50 paintings and works on paper, and includes many pieces which have never previously been shown in the UK, made since his move to Trinidad in 2002.

This exhibition is the most comprehensive overview of Doig’s work to date, tracing the development of his recurring motifs and haunting vision, and discovering how he has continually challenged his own approach to image-making.

    Taking the most extreme liberties to fashion an alternative world

    Lyle Rexer

    A figure standing on the branches of a tree; a long-haired man in a canoe staring out at the river; a boy lost in concentration testing the ice on a frozen pond. Welcome to the painterly world of Peter Doig, whose imagery comes from a variety of sources - part memory, part art history, part borrowing from magazines, film stills, and posters.
