The artwork titled “Baked,” created by the artist Peter Doig in 1990, belongs to the Magic Realism art movement and is categorized as a landscape genre.
The artwork portrays an almost surreal scene drenched in intense reds and blacks, which evokes a sense of otherworldliness synonymous with the Magic Realism movement. The landscape is depicted with a deep red sky that appears to be dotted with sporadic flecks of yellow, white, and other hues. These flecks create an impression of stars or embers, enhancing the mystical quality of the piece. In the midst of the vivid red expanse, dark silhouettes of vegetation, possibly trees or bushes, are discernible, adding depth and contrast to the composition. A solitary boat can be seen on the reflective surface, which might be a body of water, further contributing to the enigmatic atmosphere of the artwork. The overall richly saturated colors and the surreal depiction invite the viewer into a dreamlike landscape, blending reality with magical elements.
