Biography
| Peter Doig uses film stills, footage of actual events or photographs in his artworks of urban and natural environments, Peter Doig’s work emanates a quiet nostalgia. His paintings convey a sense of borrowed memory, of peering into an intimate realm of past experience – of place and self. In Concrete Cabin, the artist borrows images from a variety of sources – most notably from the functionalist architect Le Corbusier – to create an imaginary voyeuristic experience. |
