Peter Doig, Briey Concrete Cabin, 1994-1996
This spring, Maison La Roche will host an exceptional exhibition by Peter Doig. A major figure in contemporary art, he has established himself as one of the most unique painters of his generation.
Born in Edinburgh in 1959, Peter Doig has spent more than three decades developing a body of work that combines landscape, memory and imagination. His painting, both sensory and enigmatic, explores the relationships between architecture, nature and human figures, in a constant tension between figuration and abstraction.
In the 1990s, the artist stayed at the Unité d’Habitation in Briey. While the 2026 exhibition is not a direct reinterpretation of this experience, it nevertheless shares a similar sensibility: that of an artist attentive to modernist architecture, inhabited spaces and the way in which places have a lasting impact on the imagination.
