Henk Peeters is bekend als organisator en ideoloog van de Nulgroep, die van 1961 tot 1965 het Nederlands kunstklimaat beroerde. Peeters en de andere leden van de Nulgroep, Armando, Jan Hendrikse en Jan Schoonhoven, verklaarden de dagelijkse werkelijkheid tot kunst. Zij profileerden zich als objectieve afspiegeling van de realiteit met de Westerse consumptiemaatschappij als inspiratiebron. Daarbij gebruik makend van moderne, industriele materialen, die voorheen niet ‘kunstig’ werden geacht: plastic, schuimrubber, ribkarton, watten, koelkasten en auto’s. Henk Peeters maakte schuimplastic schilderijen, pyrografieen (gebrande schroeivlekken in plastic of schuimrubber), reflectiedoeken (glasparels), watten- en harenobjecten, kunstgrasschilderijen en werkte met waterzakjes en waterplafonds. In zijn werk gaat het om de uiterlijke verschijningsvormen van materialen: composities van wattenbollen of veertjes brengen het poetische van het materiaal onder de aandacht. Werk van Henk Peeters bevindt zich in het Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, het Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven, het Centraal Museum in Utrecht, het Gemeentemuseum in Den Haag en in het Kruller-Muller Museum te Otterlo…

James Rosenquist. Painting Below Zero: Notes on a Life in Art.
“Frank, funny, truthful, ironic and in every way an entertaining account of one major American artist’s involvement in an art movement that interests everyone–and, more than that, of his own character. Jim Rosenquist is a true American original and his book ought to be read by anyone who wants to understand the last half-century of his country’s visual culture, high, low, and in between.” –Robert Hughes, amazon
