Peter Doig

Peter Doig is a Scottish painter born in Edinburgh who grew up in Trinidad and Canada and studied in London at St Martin’s and Chelsea. His dreamlike landscapes, built from photographs, film stills and memory, include canoes on still lakes, snowy scenes and houses glimpsed through trees. White Canoe and Echo-Lake, which is in Tate’s collection, are among his best known. He moved back to Trinidad in 2002 and has kept a studio there.
