Snowscapes with Peter Doig
There is nothing quite like spending your vacation in a cosy chalet, nestled high in the snow-kissed peaks of Zermatt. The crackling fire casts a warm glow, reflecting on the wooden beams and frosted windowpanes. Through the glass, the slopes stretch out in all their wintry beauty of shimmering whites and tranquil blues.
Capturing this artistry is at the heart of Peter Doig's Zermatt-inspired masterpieces. From the evocative landscapes of the Zermatt Series to the painterly details of his Alpine Etchings, Doig, an avid mountain sportsman himself, captures the essence of the mountain in ways that combine alpine imagery and traditional printmaking techniques, with each piece not just an artwork but a window into these serene alpine moments.
The Zermatt Series
Solely relying on his memory to produce the images based on his experiences in Zermatt, Doig focused on a range of inspirations – the danger of its landscapes, memories of skiing, and majestic snow-covered landscapes.
Scenes from Zermatt in: Alpine Etchings
In these beautiful etchings, skiers and bystanders and domestic animals emerge from the intriguing narrative of winter life while the black and white adds a mysterious charm to each artwork.
