We visited painter Peter Doig in London for a conversation about his life, work, and curiosity about the world.
Watch the full interview on our channel.
Peter Doig (b. 1959 in Edinburgh, Scotland) grew up in Trinidad and Canada before moving to London to study at Saint Martin’s School of Art and Chelsea School of Art. Since 2002, he has divided his time between London and Trinidad, where he set up a studiofilmclub, an influential repertoire cinema club he hosted in his studio in Laventille.
Major survey exhibitions include Tate Britain, London (2008, traveled to ARC/Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris and Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt, Frankfurt am Main, Germany, 2008–09); No Foreign Lands, National Gallery of Scotland, Edinburgh (2013, traveled to Musée des beauxarts de Montréal, 2014); Fondation Beyeler, Riehen/Basel (2014–15); National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo (2020); and Courtauld Gallery, London (2023). In 2023–24, he curated the exhibition Reflections of the Century at Musée d’Orsay, Paris, which placed his works in dialogue with selections from the museum’s collection. This was followed by the major solo exhibition House of Music at the Serpentine, London (2025–26), which explored the intersections of painting and sound.
Doig taught for many years, notably at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, Germany, where he held a professorship from 2004 to 2017. He was nominated for the Turner Prize in 1994 and, in 2008, was awarded the Wolfgang Hahn Prize by the Gesellschaft für Moderne Kunst of the Museum Ludwig in Cologne, Germany. Doig was awarded the Praemium Imperiale Prize for Painting in 2025.
Peter Doig was interviewed by Marc-Christoph Wagner in London in February 2026. The conversation took place in the Serpentine Galleries on the occasion of Doig’s exhibition House of Music.
