Peter Doig

Peter Doig ( DOYG; born 17 April 1959) is a painter of Scottish nationality, but who spent a nomadic childhood between Trinidad, Canada, and Britain. He settled in Trinidad with his family between 2002 and 2021, when he moved back to London.

In 2007, his painting White Canoe (1990-91) sold at Sotheby's for $11.3 million, then an auction record for a living European artist. In February 2013, his painting The Architect's Home in the Ravine sold for $12 million at a London auction. 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."
