Peter Doig-November 2009-- Book of the Month

Peter Doig
by Adrian Searle, Kitty Scott and Catherine Grenier
Whether painting a mysterious bearded figure floating on a flat wash of blue or a winter landscape glimpsed through a thick web of branches, Peter Doig harness the materiality of his medium to create what he calls ' abstractions of memories', like scenes in a series of mysterious narratives.
Doig's work has been exhibited at the world's top museums, including The Museum of Modern Art in New York, The Centre Pompidou in Paris and The National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa.
Peter Doig was raised in Canada , based in London for two decades and now living in Trinidad.

The book has an interview with the artist by Kitty Scott, a survey by Adrian Searle and a Study on painting by Catherine Grenier.
