NOTES:

Widely regarded as one of the most important painters of his generation, Peter Doig is known for his lush, atmospheric compositions that oscillate between memory, fantasy, and the everyday. Drawing from film, photography, and personal history, Doig constructs psychologically charged landscapes that defy linear narrative.

Ten to One is Murder exemplifies this cinematic ambiguity. The piece features a haunting, filmic tableau rendered with Doig’s trademark tension between figuration and abstraction. The evocative title furthers the sense of suspense, suggesting a narrative just out of reach.
