Timeline

1921

Art critic Jonathan Jones said about him: "Amid all the nonsense, impostors, rhetorical bullshit and sheer trash that pass for art in the 21st century, Doig is a Jewel of genuine imagination, sincere work and humble creativity."

Peter Doig was born in Edinburgh, Scotland.

1959

Peter Doig (born 17 April 1959) is a Scottish painter.

1962

In 1962 he moved with his family to Trinidad, where his father worked with a shipping and trading company, and then in 1966 to Canada.

1979

After boarding school in Scotland and working on a gas rig he moved to London to study at the Wimbledon School of Art in 1979–1980, Saint Martin's School of Art from 1980 to 1983, and Chelsea School of Art, in 1989–1990, where he received an MA.

1989

In 1989, the artist held a part-time job as a dresser at the English National Opera with his friend Haydn Cottam.

1990

Included in the Whitechapel exhibition were major works including Swamped (1990), Iron Hill (1991), and The Architect's Home in the Ravine (1991).

In the early 1990s Doig was involved with a group of architects and artists who operated from the building.

The modern urban structures are partially revealed and hidden by the forest that surrounds them.

As Doig explains: "When you walk through an urban environment, you take the strangeness of the architecture for granted."

Created in the late 1990s, a series of paintings – including works such as Country-Rock (Wing Mirror) (1999) – depict a tunnel, a familiar landmark for Toronto residents since an anonymous artist painted a rainbow over it, at the northbound Don Valley Parkway, in 1972.

The rainbow has been repainted more than 40 times over two decades, despite authorities’ attempts to remove it.

1991

Shortly after Doig's graduation from the Chelsea College of Arts, he was awarded the prestigious Whitechapel Artist Prize culminating in a solo exhibition at the Whitechapel Art Gallery in 1991.

The Architect's Home in the Ravine (1991) shows Eberhard Zeidler's modernist central Toronto home in the Rosedale ravine.

Doig created a series of paintings of Le Corbusier's modernist communal living apartments known as l’Unité d’Habitation located at Briey-en-Forêt, in France.

1997

His 1997 painting Canoe-Lake was inspired by the 1980 slasher film Friday the 13th.

2000

Doig was invited to return to Trinidad in 2000, to take up an artist's residency with his friend and fellow painter Chris Ofili.

2002

He has settled in Trinidad since 2002.

In 2002, Doig moved back to the island, where he set up a studio at the Caribbean Contemporary Arts Centre near Port of Spain.

He also became a professor at the Fine Arts Academy in Düsseldorf, Germany.

Many of Doig's paintings are landscapes with a number harking back to the snowy scenes of his childhood in Canada.

He draws inspiration for his figurative work from photographs, newspaper clippings, movie scenes, record album covers and the work of earlier artists like Edvard Munch.

His landscapes are layered formally and conceptually, and draw on assorted historical artists, including Munch, H. C. Westermann, Friedrich, Monet and Klimt.

While his works are frequently based on found photographs (and sometimes on his own) they are not painted in a photorealist style.

Doig instead uses the photographs simply for reference.

2003

In 2003, Doig started a weekly film club called StudioFilmClub in his studio together with Trinidadian artist Che Lovelace.

Doig not only selects and screens the films; he also paints the poster advertising the week's film.

He told an interviewer that he finds this ongoing project liberating because it is "much more immediate" than his usual work.

2005

In 2005, he was one of the artists exhibited in part 1 of The Triumph of Painting at the Saatchi Gallery in London.

2007

In 2007, his painting White Canoe sold at Sotheby's for $11.3 million, then an auction record for a living European artist.

2008

In a 2008 interview, Doig referred to his use of photographs and postcards as painting "by proxy" and noted that his paintings "made no attempt to reflect setting".

Doig has had major solo exhibitions at Tate Britain (2008), touring to Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris and Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt, Dallas Museum of Art (2005), Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich (2004), Bonnefanten Museum, Maastricht (2003), and Whitechapel Art Gallery, London (1998).

2013

In February 2013, his painting, The Architect's Home in the Ravine, sold for $12 million at a London auction.

Doig's first major exhibition in his home country was entitled No Foreign Lands, taking place in the Scottish National Gallery, in Edinburgh, from 3 August to 3 November 2013.

It was critically acclaimed and showed works created in the previous ten years, mostly during his residence in Trinidad.

2014

The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, in collaboration with the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, presented his own exhibition, the first major held in North America, from 25 January to 4 May 2014.

An retrospective opened at Fondation Beyeler, Basel, in 2014, which travelled in 2015 to Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Humlebaek, Denmark.

2015

Also in 2015, an exhibition of recent works opened at Fondazione Bevilacqua La Masa in Venice, Italy, coinciding with the 56th Venice Biennale.

2017

Recently his work was included in the group exhibition Cooperations at Fondation Beyeler (2017).

2019

From 6 September to 16 November 2019, Michael Werner Gallery has hosted an exhibition of new paintings by Doig.
