Peter Trouwborst
artistic research
With an antenna and a piece of wood he conjures up a prehistoric fish fossil. His two pears are a test of craftsmanship and his three-dimensional Fall shows an iconic tree behind which the first humans hide, while in the foreground an apple made of pieces of wood and a robotic snake occupy a ruinous frame. In a photo book composed by himself, Peter Trouw Borst presents himself as an artist who is constantly researching. Objects, lamps, a self-invented piece of furniture, abstracts, formal and figurative, still lifes, portraits by Piet Mondrian and a series of variations on a rabbi-like figure and most recently: a number of panoramic photos. A rusty muffler with sunglasses becomes an African mask. His work is the loving account of a playful viewer.
