Peter Doig was born in Edinburgh in 1959. He moved with his family to Trinidad, where his father worked with a shipping and trading company, and then in 1966 to Canada. He went to London in 1979 to study art at the Wimbledon School of Art, St Martin's School of Art and later the Chelsea School of Art, where he received an MA. In the middle 1980s he lived and worked in Montreal. In 1993 he won the first prize at the John Moores exhibition with his painting Blotter. This brought public recognition, cemented in 1994, when he was nominated for the Turner Prize. In 1999 he selected EASTinternational with Roy Arden.
