SUMMARY:Peter Doig: Morning\, Paramin
LOCATION:The National Gallery of Modern Art
DESCRIPTION:Saved in Palaner as: saved\n\nPalaner match: 30% · why: lots of
  people going\n\nPeter Doig (born 1959) lived and worked in Trinidad betwe
 en 2002 and 2021. During this time\, he became friends with the St Lucian 
 poet Derek Walcot (1930–2017). The 28 etchings in this exhibition stand as
  a memorial to this friendship and the conversation between painter and po
 et.\nIn 2016 Walcott published a book of poems called Morning\, Paramin\, 
 written in response to Doig’s paintings. The poems also explore Doig’s com
 plex relationship with place. There was an empathy between the two men: ‘b
 ecause Art can make us love two countries with one heart\, not separately 
 either\, but blent’. Born in Scotland\, Doig grew up in Trinidad and Canad
 a\, studied in London\, and lived for many years in Trinidad. All these la
 ndscapes and more live alongside each other in the artist’s consciousness.
  Skiing and ice hockey co-exist with cricket and Carnival. People and plac
 es merge in memory and imagination.\nThe etchings are in turn a response t
 o the poems. Walcott’s words prompted an almost meditative reworking of pr
 e-existing paintings\, and a process of looking again for the artist.\n\nT
 his is a free exhibition.
