Installation for the project ‘Go your own way’ at Kunstruimte Kel-30, Biotoop – Haren ‘Landscape of tolerance’ – August Robin Peters – 2025

Sfeerimpressie van de opstelling ‘ Landscape of tolerance – August Robin Peters – tijdens de expositie ‘Go your own way’ – May/June 2025

Landscape of tolerance originated from the desire to create a spatial representation. In the research, shapes were created that remain abstract but want to be figurative. When is an object accepted as a representation? Shapes are enlarged, stacked and hung loosely in space. The painting on cardboard were created by chance out of left-overs. Organized in a patch work manner and directed into a abstract form. Newspapers are painted; some fragments dissapear, other receive attention. The paper is stacked with news which become part of the layering and can not be seen as neutral anymore. Newspapers are sewn together, the thread makes the construction visable. The stacked boxes balance but take up space and hold their ground. Have we entered the setting of a play, with players about to enter the stage?

Red sky

A new work combining painting and assemblage. In a collage manner of working the wooden parts make an alternative “frame” as well as an second layer to the whole image. As my works often needs a certain time to come together, maybe interesting to mention is that the base of this painting comes from a painted canvas (dates 2008) in red and yellow stains that I never finished but in this work has found its place. To me the work reflects a dreamy interpretation of roofs and windows in a red sky.

Augustenburg

From a photo to a artwork. A landscape I walked through last summer when I was in Denmark. It’s the park around the ‘Augustenburg’ estate. I was struck by the effect of the large trees and shadows surrounding the path that surrounds the castle. I didn’t want to reproduce the photo one on one, but I kept an certain impression in my head during the creation of this work. Combined from found pieces of wood and added panels and rest materials. It has become a combination of abstract, a bit impressionistic and best figurative for me. Sometimes you can’t avoid a tree.

A framed composition with three boxes

Composition with packaging box No. 31, No. 32 & No. 34 – Cardboard, paint, paper and wood – August Robin Peters – 2020/2022 (This work is sold)

In this work I realized a new composition existing out of individual pieces which are combined together to create a new image. The frame is made of old left-over pieces of wood and combined with new parts.

The frame that is holding the 3 boxes and 1 little one is constructed to accommodate the composition boxes, which are commutable, because you can simply pull them out and change them for another and make your own combination. The shape and design are inspired on fruit and vegetables baskets as you see them presented in markets or grocery stores.

I wanted to emphasize the heritage of the painted boxes which are made of packaging materials coming from the world of consuming.
