Peter Doig

Palheiro (For: Zombie Golf)

1995

A hauntingly atmospheric scene rendered in Doig's signature lush, dreamlike style, this oil on wood work evokes a sense of tropical unease through dense, layered vegetation and dappled light. The title's playful yet unsettling reference to zombie golf infuses the idyllic landscape with an undercurrent of surreal disquiet. Rich, textured brushwork transforms the natural setting into something both seductive and deeply strange, blurring the boundary between paradise and menace.
