The painting immediately draws the viewer into its…
Blotter
Blotter: A Landscape of Memory and Reflection Peter Doig’s “Blotter,” completed in 1993, stands as a cornerstone of his oeuvre—a painting that encapsulates the artist's signature blend of observation, imagination, and subtle emotional resonance. More than just a depiction of a snowy Canadian landscape, it’s an exploration of memory itself, filtered through the lens of photographic inspiration and imbued with a profound sense of solitude. The artwork immediately draws the…
Hill Houses
Peter Doig’s “Hill Houses,” painted in 1991, isn't merely a depiction of a country road; it’s an immersion into the hazy, subjective realm of memory and place.

Other works from 1991
Concrete Cabin
Concrete Cabin: A Landscape of Memory and Modernity Peter Doig’s "Concrete Cabin," painted in 1992, is more than just a depiction of a forest scene; it's an exploration of memory, the interplay between nature and human intervention, and the subtle anxieties of modernity.
