alone in our middle world we try to feel each in a place of soul telling of a park, a place of young and did and do we exist I have seen you. That is what is written around this drawing called 'a place I know in Antwerp' painted in June 1988... To me the figure in the foreground is a self-portrait. He must have been thinking of when he first arrived in Antwerp, walking around, being fascinated as a sixteen year old. Then missing his ship and staying on in the Seaman's house for half a year, learning about the gray northern light, the color of air.
