Modern master, Edinburgh born Peter Doig returns with a major exhibition of new and recent works, now open at The Courtauld Gallery.

Featuring 12 paintings and 19 works on paper, this rich and complex exhibition includes a group of major canvases created since the artist’s move from Trinidad to London in 2021, presenting an exciting new chapter in the career of one of the most celebrated and important painters working today.

In 2021 Doig moved back to London where he has set up a new studio. This new studio has become the crucible for developing paintings started in Trinidad and New York and elsewhere, which were worked up alongside completely fresh paintings, including a new London subject. The works produced for the exhibition at The Courtauld convey this particularly creative experience of transition, as Doig explores a rich variety of places, people, memories and ways of painting that have accompanied him to his new London studio.

Widely acknowledged as one of the world’s leading artists Doig’s Monumental canvases injected with lozenges of colour adorn the walls of the institution; juxtaposed with buttery European scenes, Trinidadian domesticity and harlequin skiers.

At the same time, the Gilbert and Ildiko Butler Drawings Gallery showcases the artist’s work as a printmaker with a display that unveils for the first time a series of prints Doig made in response to the poetry of his friend and collaborator, the late Derek Walcott. Delightful Doig. A must visit for anyone in London.
