Scottish-born Peter Doig grew up in Trinidad and Tobago and
Canada, studied at the Chelsea College of Art and Design (now
University of the Arts London) in the U.K. and has been based in
Port of Spain since 2002. His landscape paintings, often described
as romantic and uncanny, are inspired by scenes from films and
places he has lived, and show the influence of modern painters,
such as Gauguin, Matisse, Munch and Van Gogh.
