Dear Sophie -
Once in a while art is so powerful that it physically takes your breath away. That is what PETER DOIG does for me.
Doig grew up in Canada, studied at the St. Martins School in London, and now lives in Trinidad. He references photographs for his imagery and layers paint evoking an amazing calm. The paintings are large scale and all enveloping. We saw them in Paris at the Musee d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris when we also saw the Serra's and your all time favorite, Butoh!
With love,
Mom
