About Hitchhiker

The artwork titled “Hitchhiker” was created by Peter Doig in 1990. It is a part of the Magic Realism art movement and falls within the landscape genre.

In the artwork, there is an expansive field dominated by shades of green, creating a vast, open space. A line of trees marks the horizon, adding depth and contrast with their darker tones. Above this line of trees, the sky is depicted with swirling, intricate cloud formations, adding a sense of dynamism and texture to the scene. A prominent red truck is traveling along a road that slices through the middle of the scene, becoming a focal point against the otherwise tranquil and muted landscape. The contrast between the small, vivid truck and the larger, muted field invites contemplation and evokes a narrative represented by the lone traveler in a expansive, natural setting.
