Peter Doig, Fondazione Bevilacqua La Masa

Meer over het boek

He works in an intuitive non-prescribed manner, allowing works tonaturally evolve and surprise. Although the concept of motif weaves in and out of his work, artworks are never conceived of in series or as projects. Doig's willingness to embrace his personal visual history as well as the broader canon of painting contributes to the mysterious beauty and quiet intensity of his oeuvre. Through more than thirty years of painting, Peter Doig has earned a reputation as one of the most gifted artists of his generation. He is a sophisticated visual thinker with an uncanny sensitivity to the material possibilities and evocative qualities of paint. His pictures are among the most resonant images in contemporary art.
