(Almost) everyone seems to love pop superstar Harry Styles, who swept the Brit Awards chart last month, scooping four awards. British artist Peter Doig is also a fan, posting an image on Instagram of his work Alpinist (2019-22), which depicts a skier wearing a harlequin costume remarkably similar to the one Styles wore to the Grammys in February, where he also won three awards.

Alpinist is currently on display at the Courtauld Gallery in London (until May 29), but in a cheeky twist, Doig posted a new image to his Instagram feed showing Styles in his harlequin jumpsuit layered on top of a mountain top. Brazilian artist Vik Muniz particularly liked Doig’s Styles makeover, while another contributor commented that he “got Picasso Rose period vibes” from Harry’s photo. Maybe Doig will give other pop stars an artistic makeover – Lady Gaga in a canoe?
