Peter Doig Exhibition Catalogue

This is the official catalog published in conjunction with the first large-scale solo exhibition in Japan by painter Peter Doig.
This book is compiled based on the exhibition at the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo.

The book is structured into three chapters and includes 72 color plates, primarily featuring works from 1986 onward. It offers an overview of Doig's unique artistic world, which intersects influences from landscapes of Canada and Trinidad and Tobago, films and advertisements, as well as artists like Paul Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh, Henri Matisse, and Edvard Munch.

It also includes Richard Shiff's text "Drifting," an interview with the artist, a dialogue, and contributions from Japanese researchers. Through these diverse perspectives, readers can explore the appeal of romantic yet mysterious landscapes born from layers of photographs, memories, and images. This comprehensive catalog traces the trajectory of an artist at the forefront of contemporary painting with abundant illustrations.

Peter Doig (Peter Doig) 1959-

Born on April 17, 1959, in Edinburgh, Scotland.
He spent his childhood in Trinidad and Tobago and his youth in Canada. After studying at art schools in London, he established an international reputation as a leading painter of "new figuration" from the 1990s onward.

Known for his mystical and dreamlike landscapes and figures based on diverse images from photographs, films, and memories, his style has been described as "magical realism." He was nominated for the Turner Prize in 1994 and received the Wolfgang Hahn Prize in 2008.

Since the 2000s, he has been active in Trinidad and Tobago and London, holding solo exhibitions worldwide at venues such as the Tate Britain, the Fondation Beyeler, and the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo.
He is highly regarded as one of the leading artists in contemporary painting.
