The artwork, titled “Briey (Concrete Cabin),” was created by the artist Peter Doig in 1996 and belongs to the Magic Realism art movement. The piece is classified as a cityscape genre.
The artwork depicts a striking view where the modernist architectural structure, presumably a concrete building, emerges amidst dense woodland. Tall, shadowy trees dominate the foreground, their intricate branches and foliage creating a natural lattice that partially obscures the building behind. The concrete facade of the building is adorned with blocks of vivid colors, such as yellow and red, which contrast starkly with the earthy tones of the tree trunks and leaves. The scene beautifully merges the constructs of nature and human habitation, evoking a sense of mystery and stillness characteristic of the Magic Realism style.
