A human being is clearly present in many works by Henk Visch. Not as a character but through activities such as walking and standing still, resting and lying, thinking and dreaming. The leg is often featured, in different shapes and sizes. "In fact, all my work is related to standing", the artist once said. "You could call that a kind of theme. All my images stand on a foot or are supported by something. Standing, just as you yourself stand, is part of your existence. Feet with which you stand on the ground – no, not on the ground but on the earth. The earth has no ground.”
