| Peter Doig |
| Biography |
| Doig was born in Edinburgh, and moved with his family to Trinidad in 1962, where his father worked with a shipping and trading company, and then to Canada in 1966. He went to London in 1979 to study art at the Wimbledon School of Art, St Martin's School of Art - where he became friends with Billy Childish - and later the Chelsea School of Art where he received an MA. In 1991 he won an important award from the Whitechapel Art Gallery, and in 1993 he won the first prize at the Liverpool John Moores University exhibition with his painting Blotter. This brought public recognition of his work, cemented in 1994, when he was nominated for the Turner Prize. From 1995 to 2000 he served as a trustee of the Tate Gallery. In 2002, Doig moved back to Trinidad and Tobago with his family, where he set up a studio at the Caribbean Contemporary Arts centre near Port of Spain. |
