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.









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?

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.

Different outcomes with all the same packaging boxes from an AH verspakket, de-folded and re-arranged with an exploratory attitude to see what ingredients you can set out to make a painting without narrative.
