@JW Still, many insights into Doig's psyche are actually exposed in this awkward interview. Understanding the visual experience as an artist sees it, is abstract by definition and difficult to communicate in one's native language. Now imagine, struggling with translation nuances from German to English. They both at least gave it a chance.
What does snow mean to you? I think had he not been to Antwerp he would have sledged his way to an imperial dogma of ice cream type imprint. He (Doig) has a similar name to 'dog' meaning the animal. Amongst other essential things, it goes 'woof' and can be very faithful or violent. I think he likes cooking and relating the 'fry ups' to an almost liquid transparency of lakes/ ponds/ China and maybe even Beaconsfield. Its just a personal view and will not affect your statutory rights.
This is just showing the huge discrepancy between artists and art curators/gallerists/historians. There is the creative process and there is the cold analysis of something that cants be explained in words. The painting artists expresses himself in images
I don't know much about the artist. But he seems quite awkward when the interviewer is asking him about his work like he doesn't want to explain it. He seems a strange character.
