Giclée print on cotton smooth rag
- Signed, numbered and dated on the front
Peter Doig's 'Alice at Boscoe's' (2023) presents a tranquil and intimate scene, captured in a lush, vibrant giclée print. The artwork depicts a figure reclining in a red hammock, surrounded by dense tropical foliage and brick-patterned tiles. The use of rich earth tones—reds, greens, and oranges—gives the piece a warm, sun-soaked atmosphere, evoking a lazy, serene moment in a secluded garden or patio.
The figure, softly blended into the background, appears almost at one with the surrounding environment, reflecting Doig’s characteristic dreamlike quality. The lush greenery and layered textures of the plant leaves create a sense of depth and tranquility, allowing viewers to feel enveloped by the scene’s natural beauty. The tile floor, rendered in geometric patterns, contrasts with the organic shapes of the foliage, grounding the composition while enhancing the cozy ambiance.
This limited edition print, signed, numbered, and dated by the artist, is a testament to Doig's ability to merge everyday scenes with a subtle sense of the surreal, creating a moment that feels both intimate and timeless.

- Peter Doig
Peter Doig is a highly acclaimed figurative painter, with works that often depict landscapes or human figures inspired by photography – be it his own or sourced - and imbued with his own personal experiences. Such personal objects as canoes feature heavily in Doig’s works (canoes are a nod to his time spent living in Canada) and although his works are figurative, they often retain a sense of dream-like mysticism due to their deeply reflective and intimate effect – White Canoe, an oil on canvas painting, encapsulates this mysticism perfectly. Further highlighting Doig’s autobiographical imprint upon his works is his Lapeyrouse Wall piece; this painting was created after Doig’s move to Trinidad and features the crumbling wall of Lapeyrouse cemetery, so named after the island’s first sugar estate founder and a stark reminder of the colonial history of Trinidad. Influenced by artists including Monet, Munch and Klimt, Doig’s art is in the vein of post-impressionism with his own added flair. (Artist website)
Sometimes known as Figurativism, figurative art refers to sculptures and paintings that are clearly or specifically derived from real objects, making them representational. The term figurative art is often used in contrast to abstract art. However, since the emergence of abstract art, figurative art has come to describe any form of modern art that has strong references to the real world or actual situations.
