2026 | Art Safari Hilvarenbeek

Peter van Tilburg — Tue, 14 Apr 2026 16:20:55 +0000

On Saturday, September 19 and Sunday, September 20, the Art Safari will take place for the second time in the six villages of Hilvarenbeek: Baarschot, Biest-Houtakker, Haghorst, Diessen, Esbeek, and Hilvarenbeek! Both familiar names and new faces, young talent and late bloomers will showcase their work. See: Art Safari 2026

At the location of Atelier Van Tilburg, Dr. P.C. de Brouwerlaan 1, Hilvarenbeek, Janine van Rijswijk will exhibit layered artworks (mixed media), and Peter van Tilburg will present spatial work, graphic art, and watercolours. The artworks will be displayed in parts of the house and, weather permitting, also in the garden, an oasis of nature and tranquility. To illustrate the theme, ‘dancing in autumn – you do not see what you see’, Idie Pijnenburg and Mechthild van Tilburg will recite poems in relation to several artworks. This all can be enjoyed with coffee and cookies.

2026 | Wellenseind Estate revisited

Peter van Tilburg — Wed, 01 Apr 2026 09:21:45 +0000

Starting Friday, August 28, my watercolours can be seen in Wellenseind Estate, on the grounds of ‘Voor Anker’. They were already on display at the estate three years ago; back then, at the locations where they were created. Now, they are set up together on the small square by the cowshed. The exhibition consists of 12 watercolours, etched onto weather-resistant boards.
During the pandemic summers of 2020 and 2021, I explored the surrounding area on foot and by bicycle. And so, Wellenseind Estate prominently came into view. Depicting the different seasons in the shimmering sunlight on the water, the play of light and shadow among the trees, the budding spring greenery, or the vibrant autumn colours formed the challenge.
The outdoor exhibition will remain open for viewing throughout the month of September 2026.

My sculpture at the Vinkenslag in Hilvarenbeek, ‘Spatial Construction in an Architectonic Context’ (SCACO 1), has been given a new look by the municipality after about 25 years. From June 2026, it will be sparkling in the sun again.

2026 | Watercolours at the entrances of new Hilverhorst Apartments

Peter van Tilburg — Thu, 12 Feb 2026 17:12:56 +0000

It was an initiative in 2024 by architect Pieter Keeris (Eersel) to place a work of art as a landmark at each of two identical entrances to a newly built apartment complex. As an experiment, the proposal was presented to the construction company Gebr. van Gisbergen, who asked me to select two watercolours for the entrances of the Hilverhorst building at the Roodloop in Hilvarenbeek. Because the identical entrances face the village side and the nature side respectively, a watercolour of the village centre (Vrijthof) and of the surrounding countryside (Groot Loo) were chosen.
On May 7, 2026, the highest point was reached and, true to tradition, the flag was hoisted. I have been asked to unveil the two works. These will be hung behind glass at the entrances, four times larger.
