Peter Doig’s Fisherman (2013) presents a seemingly solitary figure rendered in vibrant tones, dwarfed by lush, dark foliage and a glowing palm tree above, evoking both a tropical scene and a dream-like memory. Executed as a pigment print on paper in a limited edition of 500 and hand-signed and numbered, the work embodies Doig’s characteristic blending of photography, vernacular sources and painterly texture to create a world where real and imagined merge.

Rooted in his nomadic background—childhood in Canada, years in Trinidad—and his fascination with memory and place, this image invites the viewer into a quietly uncanny landscape that is both familiar and strange.
