Kehidupan awal
Peter Doig was born in Edinburgh, Scotland. In 1962 he moved with his family to Trinidad, where his father worked with shipping and trading companies, and then in 1966 to Canada. He moved to London to study at the Wimbledon School of Art in 1979-1980, the Saint Martin School of Art from 1980 to 1983, and the Chelsea School of Art, in 1989-90, where he received his MA. In 1989, the artist performed a part-time job as a makeup artist at the British National Opera with his friend Haydn Cottam.
Doig was invited to return to Trinidad in 2000, to take the residence of an artist with his friend and fellow painter Chris Ofili. In 2002, Doig moved back to the island, where he set up a studio at the Center for Contemporary Art of the Caribbean near Port of Spain. He also became a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in DÃÆ'¼sseldorf, Germany.

Artistic Exercise
Many of Doig's paintings are landscapes, somewhat abstract, with numbers that remind him back to his childhood snowy scenes in Canada. He drew inspiration for his figurative works from photographs, newspaper clippings, movie scenes, album covers and previous artworks such as Edvard Munch. The landscape is formally and conceptually coated, and attracts artists of art history, including Munch, H.C. Westermann, Friedrich, Monet, and Klimt. While his works are often based on photographs that are found (and sometimes alone) they are not painted with photorealist style. Doig instead uses photographs just for reference. In a 2008 interview, Doig referred to the use of photographs and postcards as paintings "by representatives" and noted that his paintings "do not attempt to reflect the setting."
Shortly after Doig's graduation from the Chelsea College of Arts, he was awarded the prestigious Whitechapel Artist Prize culminating in a single exhibition at the Whitechapel Art Gallery in 1991. Included in the Whitechapel exhibition were main works including Swamped (1990) Iron Hill (1991), and The Architect's Home in the Ravine (1991). The Architect's Home in the Ravine (1991) shows modernist Eberhard Zeidler's home in Rosedale at the heart of the Toronto abyss.
Doig created a series of modern paintings of Le Corbusier's communal living apartment known as the l'UnitÃÆ' Â d'dabitation located in Briey-en-ForÃÆ'ªt, in France. In the early 1990s Doig was involved with a group of architects and artists operating from the building. Modern urban structures are partially exposed and hidden by the surrounding forests. As Doig explains: "As you walk through urban environments, you take on architectural oddities just like that."
Created in the late 1990s, a series of paintings - including works such as Country-Rock (1999) - depicts a tunnel, a well-known building for the residents of Toronto since an anonymous artist paints a rainbow in topped it, north of the Don Valley Parkway, in 1972. The rainbow has been repainted more than 40 times over the past two decades, although the authorities are trying to remove it. His 1997 painting Canoe-Lake was inspired by the 1981 slasher film Friday the 13th .
In 2003, Doig started a weekly film club called StudioFilmClub in his studio along with Trinidadian artist Che Lovelace. Doig not only selects and filters movies; he also painted a movie ad poster this week. He told an interviewer that he found the ongoing project liberating because it was "faster" than his usual job. In 2005, he was one of the artists on display at part 1 of The Triumph of Painting at the Saatchi Gallery in London.

Doig has held a solo exhibition at Tate Britain (2008), a tour of Musée d'd'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris and Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt, Dallas Art Museum (2005), Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich (2004), Bonnefanten Museum , Maastricht (2003), and Whitechapel Art Gallery, London (1998).

Art market
In 2007, a Doig's painting, titled White Canoe , was sold at Sotheby for $ 11.3 million, then an auction record for a living European artist. Paul Schimmel, chief curator at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles said in an interview that the sale made Doig change from being "a hero to other painters into a poster child of market excesses." In 2009, Night Playground (1997-98), a painted landscape painted solidly sold by Joel Mallin, a New York collector, earned $ 5 million at Christie's auction in London, well above the high estimate. $ 3 million. Also at Christie's London, The Architect's Home at Ravine (1991) was auctioned off at Ã, Â £ 7.66 million at the beginning of 2013. Later that year, CÃÆ' Â © sar Reyes, a psychiatrist living in Puerto Rico and one of the artist's biggest collectors, selling Jetty, a 1994 canvas from a single figure on the dock at sunset, for $ 11.3 million. His painting of Gasthof zur Muldentalsperre was sold at Christie's in 2014 for $ 17,038,276. This price is surpassed by Swamped , also sold at Christie's in 2015 for $ 25,950,000. Phillips auctioned off CanDay's 1991 canvas, "Rosedale," from Toronto's snowfall, secured for $ 25 million and sold for $ 28.8 million to the phone bidder, the high auction for the artist.
In 2016, a former Canadian correcting officer initiated a $ 5 million lawsuit against Doig for a picture he claimed by Doig despite his artist's denial. The Chicago court ruled in favor of Doig later that year, finding that the painting was actually the work of a man of the same name, Peter Doige.
