Peter Doig

Came across this artist again in Painting Today, after seeing some of his work here and there and hearing his name passed around.  He's a very successful contemporary painter who paints dreamlike images in a way that's hard to define.  His variation in handling paint while still unifying his work through theme or mood is fascinating to me.
