Co Westerik, Curtains, Looking Outside, 2003

Sunday curtain twitching. This mysterious scene was painted by the late Dutch artist Co Westerik, whose work depicts moments from everyday life, underscored with a sense of unease. From swollen veins snaking their way up the back of a hand to the shadowy presence of a figure lingering behind a curtain, strange narratively suggestive details contrast with his delicate, hazy painting style—with haunting results.
