From the Great Ongoing Series " The Pillar "

"People often say that my paintings remind them of particular scenes from films or certain passages from books, but I think it’s a different thing altogether. [...] I am trying to create something that is questionable, something that is difficult, if not impossible, to put into words. […] I often use heightened colours to create a sense of the experience, or mood or feeling of being there." (Peter Doig)
