Lot Essay

"You can ask what the paintings are about, but I can't really tell you. They're really just ciphers for your own imagination" (Peter Doig, quoted in www.electric-review.com).

"Have I seen this place before?; Whose memories are these?; Where the hell am I?" (Terry R. Myers, Peter Doig, Blizzard seventy-seven, 1998, p. 67).
