The artist has not said he did not paint it. He merely says ” It is not a Peter Doig painting” he is not saying “I did not paint it”.
Peter Doige was busted for LSD. Peter Doig talked to interviewer Tim Adams about his taking LSD. The painting by the teenaged prisoner is very advanced and has allusions to Doig’s mature style.
