Old Man Lamp, as well as its life-size counterpart Old Man, is a self-portrait of artist Joep van Lieshout, a creator who refuses to surrender. In a show of stamina, he drags himself from one artwork to the next, morphing into his gnarled walking stick, reflecting upon the cycle of life from love to reproduction, growth and death.
