Peter Doig’s is a voice that combines painterly wisdom and poignant autobiographical incident. In this show of twelve large paintings and a handful of smaller works (which made its debut in March at the Kunsthalle zu Kiel and now travels to its organizing institution), landscapes are transformed into topographies of mood, from physical elation to anxiety born of personal memories, filtered through the lens of a Northern Romantic sensibility. A respected teacher and currently a trustee of the Tate Gallery, Doig has a loyal following that should be immeasurably increased by this substantial public showing, curated by the Whitechapel’s Felicity Lunn.
