Themes and style:
Themes
of magical realism stream through Peter Doig’s work, capturing timeless moments
of perfect tranquillity, where photo-album memory flits in and out of waking
dream. Drawing from his Canadian childhood, and one of the spookier scenes from
Friday the 13th, Peter Doig’s canoes have become a seminal image in his work;
their reflection in the water, like a double life, is a fantasy mirror to the
unknown. Canoe-Lake is rendered with unsettling perfection: capturing not just
a spying view over a fence, but the strange echoing silence of drifting on a
lake, the impossible stillness of the current, and the cloying warmth of late-summer
air.
Techniques:
His work is develop in paintings,
sculpture and etchings.

In his own words:
“It’s more a questioning of everyday
spirituality, thinking about that, and not to do with any specific beliefs. I
mean, my hope is kind of that my work becomes even more abstract, really. It
doesn’t have to always have such a direct reference to the everyday or to
objects. Recognizable objects. But I think that’s something that’s gonna
happen. I don’t want to reinvent myself as a kind of abstract artist and just
reduce my paintings to the elemental. I think some paintings have found
themselves going in that direction more obviously than others. But I think it’s
got to be something that I feel I can come to terms with it within myself. Even
when Guston was supposedly no longer an abstract artist, his paintings were
probably more abstract than ever, really.”
