New work by former Turner Prize nominee Peter Doig is being exhibited in London for the first time in three years at a show exploring depictions of the human body.

Night balcony painting is being shown alongside work by Allen Jones, famous for his female fetish figures, and US artist Don Van Vliet — better known as the cult singer Captain Beefheart. The earliest exhibit is a 1914 terracotta sculpture by German artist Wilhelm Lehmbruck who went on to influence a generation of artists after his death. Doig, a former student at St Martin’s School of Art, was shortlisted for the 1994 Turner Prize but lost to sculptor Antony Gormley.

Scottish-born Doig grew up in Canada and moved to Trinidad in 2012.

The show, called Body Shop, is at the Michael Werner Gallery in central London until December 5.
