Doig
Doig had spent his childhood in Canada then moved to
London studying art as a degree. Much of his paintings have a surreal
atmosphere coupled with unusual colour palette often vibrant, striking and juxtaposed
in odd combinations. His work explore human connection to locations including
urban and rural terrain with the usual subjects are reflections of snowbound
Canada, modernist cityscapes and buildings and watery surfaces dramatically
reflecting its vaguely contrived viewer.
His works excels in producing palpable feelings of
solitude and emptiness, sometimes a human presence is only viewed and a shadow
composed of a loose fluid appearance drifting across bright vibrant landscapes.
This is the aspect that I am most attracted to as human presence is going to be
a major part of the work and the expressive quality is appropriate for an
apocalyptic landscape.
