About the book:
The publication Discovery of the Well-Known includes paintings by Isolde Venrooy from the period 2011–2013. In the work of Venrooy humans share the pure element of time with others. Bathers who share the seawater, or skiers in the shining white of snow, are connected by a common current time. Venrooy establishes this connection in a very concrete, traditional way. By recoating paper cuttings with monochromatic color figures are isolated and merged into a new moment of time. The book guides the reader through several enlargements of the extraordinary works in order to experience details as well as the whole.
