Created following Peter Doig’s extended residency in Zermatt, Alpinist arises from the artist’s intimate engagement with Swiss alpine terrain, where he maintained a mountain studio throughout 2021. The work captures Doig’s filmic quality—a synthesis of observed landscape and imagined atmosphere that positions him among the most celebrated painters of our era.

The harlequin-dressed skier, set against the distinctive peak of the Matterhorn mountain, embodies Doig’s exploration of place and memory, transforming an ordinary winter scene into a moment suspended between reality and imagination.

Alpinist brings contemplative depth, its cool palette and vertical composition commanding presence in contemporary or traditional settings. The artwork's layered atmosphere rewards sustained viewing, revealing Doig’s masterful handling of light and spatial ambiguity.

Exhibited internationally, the artist’s works are held in distinguished private collections worldwide. This artwork is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity and professional installation guidance.
