The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (MMFA) is presenting an exhibition of works by Peter Doig, a contemporary Scottish Artist. Doig, born in Edinburgh, grew up in Montreal and later moved to Trinidad.

Peter Doig: No Foreign Lands is a co-production of the MMFA and the National Galleries of Scotland, Edinburgh, where it was view in summer and fall of 2013 and met with great critical success. this is the first major exhibition to be devoted to this painter in North America. The exhibition will make only one stop in North America, at the MMFA. 

Together with many smaller works, posters, and sketches, fourty of Doig’s very large paintings are also on display in the MMFA's Michal and Renata Hornstein Pavilion.

The exhibition covers Doig’s output since he settled in Trinidad in 2002.

Many of Doig's paintings are landscapes. He often draws inspiration from photographs, clippings of various images and even from the work of earlier artists, like for instance from Gauguin in the following paintings, especially the first one.

Here is the view of the exhibition room that features Doig hand made film posters.
