This extensive book was published by Faurschou Foundation on the occasion of the exhibition Peter Doig, Cabins and Canoes: The Unreasonable Silence of the World, the first solo exhibition in China dedicated to the esteemed contemporary painter.Curated by Francis Outred, Cabins and Canoes: The Unreasonable Silence of the World was a tightly-curated selection of the painter’s signature motifs: cabins and canoes. The exhibition featured some of Doig’s most celebrated paintings, including Swamped (1990), The Architect’s Home in the Ravine (1991), and Daytime Astronomy (1997-8).The catalogue is edited by Kristian Eley, Olivia Leahy, Francis Outred, and Cecilia Pedersen and contains a complete survey of Doig’s series of ‘Cabins’ and ‘Canoes’, as well as texts by Jens Faurschou, Francis Outred, Anna Campbell, and the renowned artist Zeng Fanzhi.Review by Jackie Wullschlager in Financial Times: “The most beautiful volume on a living artist to come my way in years, this catalogue to a current Beijing exhibition, presenting Doig to new audiences, delves into his life and sources, especially his own archive of reproductions (Hopper, Munch, Monet). An essay by painter Zeng Fanzhi offers intriguing context.” (June 23, 2017)
