Yanny Petters
'Three Trees' and 'By the Vegetable Patch'
Shirley Sherwood Gallery of Botanical Art, Kew, London
The two photographs above were taken at the Olivier Cornet Gallery in November 2021. They show 'Three trees, Blackthorn, Rowan, Hawthorn' and 'By the vegetable patch, Rosebay Willowherb, Borage, Broadleaved Willowherb'. These two wonderful works were part of Yanny Petters's 2021 solo show: 'Field of Vision', botanical treasures in focus.
The exhibition, which ran from 10 October to 6 November 2021, was a huge success and shortly after the end of the exhibition, these two glorious verre églomisé paintings joined the collection of the Shirley Sherwood Gallery of Botanical Art at Kew, London, UK.
Dr Shirley Sherwood's collection already included 3 works by the artist, one titled 'Teasel for Finches, November' was acquired during her 2016 solo show 'Come with me, I'll show you something beautiful'.
Back in 2020, work by the artist joined two prestigious art institutions in Dublin, namely the National Museum of Ireland
as well as the National Gallery of Ireland.
