'Field of vision, Yanny Petters's solo show launches at OCG on Sunday 10 October 2021

"...For almost two years we have had to look at our surroundings in a new way, our field of vision being reduced due to the world wide Covid-19 pandemic...."

The Olivier Cornet Gallery is delighted to present this solo show of verre églomisé paintings (or back paintings on glass) by gallery artist Yanny Petters. The exhibition will launch at the OCG on Sunday 10 October, from 2pm to 6pm in the presence of the artist. Please book a time that suits you by calling/texting or emailing us. 

Guest speaker Janet McLean, curator at The National Gallery of Ireland, Dublin, will introduce the exhibition at 2pm sharp.

If you cannot attend the opening, please note that we will also have a live stream of Janet Mclean's presentation, preceded by a short introduction by Olivier. Simply join us on the gallery's facebook page or on our youtube channel. 

The exhibition includes 75 small Verre Eglomisé paintings proportionally similar in shape to glass slides used in the old microscope. Each plant is drawn from nature, a selection from the myriad wild plants growing on about half an acre, native plants which all too often go un-noticed, but which are part of delicate and precious habitats. They include Spring flowers like Celandine, Primrose and Cowslip, Summer flowers from Bluebell, Foxglove and Poppy to Forget-me-not and Clover as well as Autumnal favourites like Bramble, Rowan and Hawthorn.
