Oil on board painting. Featuring winter landscape scene. Signed and attr. Peter Doig (Scottish, b. 1959). Gallery label on verso. 4.9 x 8.1 in. (12.5 x 20.5 cm). Peter Doig is a contemporary Scottish artist, celebrated as one of the most important representational painters working today. His paintings are characterized by their equal focus on both landscapes and figures, melding art historical and personal references into painterly abstractions with distinctive compositions. By forming powerful and affecting snapshots of contemporary existence - such as a childhood ski trip or an orange canoe - Doig’s works are both diaristic and universally relevant. PROVENANCE: Tho S.
