PETER DOIG AT THE SCHIRN KUNSTHALLE FRANKFURT
On the occasion of the exhibition Peter Doigthe artist talks about his paintings while being accompanied by the camera during the installation of the exhibition.
Peter Doig is regarded as one of todays most crucial and internationally influential artists. Presenting some 50 paintings, a group of works on paper, and about 130 painted film posters, the SCHIRN offers a comprehensive overview of the artists achievements from the past twenty years. Many of the works on display have never been exhibited in Germany. One focus of the show will be on works Doig created in Trinidad within the past five years and on painted posters produced for his cinema project STUDIOFILMCLUB in Port of Spain, Trinidad. On the occasion of the exhibition, Doig will also set up a special STUDIOFILMCLUB in Frankfurt, screening films selected by the artist on Wednesdays from 7 to 10 p.m. between 15 October and 26 November 2008. Although on the one hand Peter Doigs pictures relate to the history of painting, they are firmly anchored in present-day life on the other. He often uses travel brochures, newspaper images, film stills, or private snapshots as his point of departure. They reflect the changing scenes and social environments in which the artist has lived: the frozen lakes of his childhood in Canada, the dazzling metropolis of London, Caribbean sceneries, and the cityscapes of Trinidad. In his visionary landscapes, whose quiescence seems to be most precarious, memories, biographical moments, popular images, and narrative plots congeal to form dreamlike sequences.

PETER DOIG IN DER SCHIRN KUNSTHALLE FRANKFURT
Anlässlich der Ausstellung „Peter Doig" spricht der Künstler anhand von Gemälden in der Ausstellung über sein Werk und wird von der Kamera durch den Aufbau der Ausstellung begleitet.
Peter Doig gilt als einer der maßgeblichen und international einflussreichsten Maler der Gegenwart. Anhand von rund 50 Gemälden, einer Gruppe von Arbeiten auf Papier und rund 130 gemalten Filmpostern zeigt die Schirn einen umfassenden Überblick über sein Schaffen der letzten zwanzig Jahre. Viele der ausgestellten Werke waren bisher nie in Deutschland zu sehen. Einen Schwerpunkt der Schau bilden Gemälde, die Doig in den vergangenen fünf Jahren in Trinidad geschaffen hat, sowie gemalte Poster, die für sein Kinoprojekt, den STUDIOFILMCLUB in Port of Spain auf Trinidad, entstanden sind. Anlässlich der Ausstellung wird Doig zudem einen eigenen Frankfurter STUDIOFILMCLUB einrichten, in dem vom 15. Oktober bis 26. November 2008 jeweils mittwochs von 19 bis 22 Uhr ein vom Künstler ausgewähltes Filmprogramm gezeigt wird. Peter Doigs Gemälde beziehen sich einerseits auf die Geschichte der Malerei und sind andererseits fest im heutigen Leben verankert. Ausgangspunkt für seine Bilder sind oft Reiseprospekte, Zeitungsfotos, Filmstills oder private Schnappschüsse. Gleichzeitig spiegeln sich in ihnen auch die wechselnden Umgebungen und Gesellschaften, in denen der Künstler gelebt hat: die gefrorenen Seen seiner Kindheit in Kanada, die schillernde Metropole London oder die karibischen Landschaften und urbanen Szenerien Trinidads. In visionären Landschaften, deren Ruhe jeden Moment zu kippen scheint, gerinnen Erinnerung, Biografisches, populäre Bilder und erzählte Handlungen zu traumartigen Sequenzen.

Danke! Die perfekte Ergänzung zu einer der inspirierendsten Ausstellungen der letzten Jahre...
Proud of my cousin Peter.
Wow, looking at his work you see that he is an obvious genius and perhaps the greatest now living painter. Then I see that many of the people here are denying his talent which makes me wonder if he's even better and more important of a painter than I first figured.
Brillant artist, my auntie taught him at Chelsea college of Arts whilst he was studying on an MA. His work is also having a great influence on my painting. Wish I could meet the guy!
new favourite artist
I think the poster paintings can work on their own because they are informative. I did not realize they were that large when I first saw them on some website ( I can't remember which one) then again all together in a book. They are full of colour and bursting within themselves (their picture frame). It looked like it would have been a fantastic show to see. All the best.
perfect !!
peter doig, ein großartiger maler.
I just read in an interview that he sold the painting in 97 for a thousand pounds. Quite a jump in ten years!
eine tolle malerei ausstellung
@zeus2urgod wow, big money then......He has a style a good style its not a blow you away style but it does the trick in its own weird way. Him and Ofili are on a high plane as modern living artists.
2:00 love peter but the camera work is hilarious
I like this guy, I wonder if he makes money. If so how much.
@RichardCorral
I don't think there's enough evidence, verbal or otherwise, for this conclusion. To me, he seems the opposite: quite modest. Perhaps you're just jealous of his talent?
like jelly fish, manowar
