Peter Doig — “I often paint scenes with snow because snow somehow has this effect of drawing you inwards.”

“I often paint scenes with snow because snow somehow has this effect of drawing you inwards.”

A richly layered composition by Peter Doig, this work combines paint and collage on paper to evoke the quiet, introspective pull of a snow-covered landscape. Doig's signature dreamlike atmosphere permeates the scene, with muted, cool tones and fragmented textures drawing the viewer into a meditative stillness. The interplay between painted passages and collaged elements mirrors the way snow itself flattens and transforms the world, blurring boundaries and turning the gaze inward.
