August Robin Peters – 2025 – Mixed media – 34 x 29 x 2,5 cm.
Collage made of bits and pieces of older work combined with new parts, some used materials are: Vinyl from my earlier atelier floor, tear-out parts of a painting on paper, cut-out piece of a painted canvas, pink wooden part from a children’s toy, found on the street.
Kind of Mosaic
Art, Beeldende Kunst, Contemporary Art, Mixed media, Paper Art
This abstract artwork almost made itself, the only thing I did was to organize the order. Just like a piece of mosaic. Putting left-over cut-out cardboard strips. Which came from cutting off strips from another older painting on cardboard. By puzzling the pieces afther each other, I could play with the rhythm of the colors and forms/stains and at the same time take control. The image created is still abstract, but to me, it tends to give a little bit of a botanical feel to it, without actually being a figurative image of such.

Artist Talk pt.1 & pt.2
Art, August Peters, Beeldende Kunst, Contemporary Art, Mixed media, Painting, Paper Art
Both collages works are made of left over cardboard. Pieces of cardboard lying around on the atelier floor when I’m working, I use these to stroke away paint with my brush to clean them. So most of the stains are coincidence, and some are not. Making a composition with these elements makes me take some control of the image. In these two works I combined them with not so coincidental stains and even copied pieces of dessins from fabrics and added them in the image, which give them the needed contrast and depth.
I called them ‘Artist Talk’ because of the different parts that make one image; different points of view but in dialogue with each other.
It’s only mountains (and the sea)
Art, Beeldende Kunst, Contemporary Art, Landscape, PaintingPreparing a day at the park…
These are studies for making a big size work that I wanted to realize for my participation at the colorfield performance in the summer of ’23. My goal was to make a colorful minimal work with abstract organic shapes and round forms. This idea of these round dots came from my sketches in which I just started to draw stains with colour until it became a form which satisfied me as such. There is still a lot more of experimenting to do with that. For the painting which I had to realize in one day at the project, it had to be recognizable as a landscape but somewhat in between abstract and figurative. How far can you go with abstraction en what do you accept as a recognizable form?
A day at the park
Art, Beeldende Kunst, Dutch Contemporain Artist, Exhibition, installation art, Landscape, Object art, Painting
The day: 15 July 2023
The challenge: create a painting on a wooden panel sized 1.22×1.22m in one day in the open air with provided paint. Wooden panel is screwed onto a frame and is adjusted to personal height.
The setting: the painting is one element of a bigger plan; approximately 500 panels/paintings placed next to each other in an eclips formed shape. An outdoor exhibition during the summer, entry free.
The location: Park Lingzegen, Elst, the Netherlands (1 may till 1 oktober 2023)
The project: The colorfield performance
Red sky
Art, Beeldende Kunst, Contemporary Art, Dutch Contemporain Artist, Landscape, Mixed media, PaintingA 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.
A framed composition with three boxes
Art, assemblage, Beeldende Kunst, Contemporary Art, Dutch Contemporain Artist, Mixed media, Moderne kunst, Object art, Paper Art
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.
