Peter Doig’s paintings draw on images from memories, photographs, or films to create spaces where reality slips into the realm of the dreamlike. His landscapes—forests, bodies of water, or isolated architectural structures—become evocative, atmospheric territories that straddle the line between figuration and abstraction.
In the 1990s, a stay at the Unité d’Habitation in Briey, designed by Le Corbusier, shaped his relationship to architecture and the inhabited landscape. Without referencing it directly, the exhibition at Maison La Roche extends this focus on places and their power to inspire the imagination.
