Peter Doig — Birdhouse
Peter Doig

Birdhouse

1995

A dreamlike birdhouse emerges from a hazy, atmospheric landscape rendered in Peter Doig's signature blend of memory and myth. Rich layers of pastel build a luminous, textured surface where the natural world dissolves into abstraction, the structure hovering between the familiar and the otherworldly. The work evokes a quiet, melancholic solitude, characteristic of Doig's ability to transform everyday subjects into enigmatic, deeply personal visions.

pastel on paper
