• Peter Doig (b.1959) is a pioneering artist whose work has charted a new direction in contemporary painting
• Doig's work has never been presented in a monograph of this scope
• His paintings depict atmospheric landscapes, sometimes glimpsed beneath washes of hallucinogenic colour, at other times through nets of thickly patterned marks
• Combining found images (including film stills, album covers and newspaper clippings) with visions of his Canadian childhood and landscapes from his studio in Trinidad, Doig has created a painted world that is uniquely his own
• Educated in London, his home for nearly twenty years, Doig continues to influence the latest generation of British painters
