Cricket (Paragrand); Black & White; Towards Venezuela; Cave Boat Bird (Saut D'Eau); Corbeaux; Maracas (Speaker Box); Owl (Boscoe); Drunk & Disorderly (Always in Custody) Mighty Sparrow; Sea Lots; Owl in a Neem Tree - Boscoe's House; Paragrand 2; and Beach (Cricket)

These twelve etchings and aquatints by Peter Doig form a richly atmospheric series rooted in the landscapes, wildlife, and cultural rhythms of Trinidad, where the artist has long been based. Through the delicate interplay of line and tone achieved in the etching and aquatint process, Doig evokes sun-drenched beaches, dense tropical foliage, solitary figures at cricket, and nocturnal creatures such as owls and corbeaux with a haunting, poetic stillness. The varied wove papers and luminous color washes lend each print a painterly warmth, reflecting Doig's signature ability to transform observed life into something mythic and deeply felt.

Medium
The complete series of 12 etchings and aquatint in colors, on various wove papers, with full margins.
