Fieldwork with Mainie and Albrecht, Yanny Petters's new solo exhibition to launch on 6 October 2024

The Olivier Cornet Gallery is delighted to present Yanny Petters's new solo show.

'Fieldwork with Mainie and Albrecht'

Twelve Irish habitats in homage to the artists who have inspired me

In creating this body of work Yanny has immersed herself in the forms and colours which draw her eye to the many wild habitats of the Irish landscape. Her raison d'être is drawing our attention to the wonders and treasures around us. 

While this new body of work is primarily about wild habitats, Yanny explores a common thread in her work over the last forty years with the inspiration she has drawn from the artists and creators she has admired since childhood: Mainie Jellet, Albrecht Dürer, Harry Clarke, Gustav Klimt, William Morris and the Moghul artists of ancient India to name just a few.

The exhibition will launch at 3:00 pm on Sunday 6 October 2024. All welcome.

We are delighted to announce that the show will be opened by Dr Éimear O'Connor (RHA, HRUA, BA, MBA, PhD), Director of Collections and Access at the National Museum of Ireland, Dublin.

The exhibition is accompanied by a beautiful catalogue with an essay by Dr Hilary Pyle.
