Man in Small Space

1973 | pen and wash | 38 × 25 cm

Is this man in pyjama trousers sleepwalking, fighting internal demons … maybe even trapped in this world – or the next?

Portrayed in a deceptively simple manner, the characters in Westerik’s work are loaded with emotion and can be a bit enigmatic. The human battle between resistance and surrender is a common theme.
