Isabella Werkhoven (1969)

Memorial Green

2006 | oil paint on canvas | 60 × 90 cm

An autumn day on a desolate golf course: close your eyes and you can hear the leaves rustling across the grass.

It is with this seemingly simple image that Isabella Werkhoven evokes a whole film of associations in the mind of the viewer. The title gives the work an extra sinister connotation: a memorial green is a place where people gather to commemorate the dead.
