Peter Doig (*1959) is one of the most fascinating artists of today. The Fondation Beyeler presents an exhibition of his most important oil paintings and experimental works on paper, as well as a monumental new mural.

Below the surface of this paradise lies a sense of melancholy, loneliness, tension and calamity. These pictures are memories of and yearnings for a wondrous dream world that seems strange and at the same time familiar to us. Peter Doig’s works have their starting point in private photographs and images from the media and movies, and combine pop culture and art history in an enigmatic fashion.
