From National Heritage Week to Culture Night 2023 and more at the OCG

“…Hugh particularly enjoys utilising contrasting colours and grain patterns as integral to his final forms in wood. He has  been influenced in this approach by the work of the foremost proponent of marquetry – André-Charles Boulle and is delighted to present an understanding of the man, his work and his legacy…”

Come see Hugh Cummins’s recent creations, some of his puzzling tools, his reflections on his illustrious predecessors such as The King’s Ebenist André-Charles Boule, all part of National Heritage Week.

You can still catch our group show ‘My Favourite Artwork at the Olivier Cornet Gallery’, read all about its inclusion in Gemma Tipton's article Curiosity, gut instinct and a nose for value: the art of curation (The Irish Times, 15 August 2023) and hear all about our September exhibitions:

• ‘1515’, a group show featuring works by our artists and invited artists such as Joe Dunne (RHA). All works will be available at 150 Euro each. The show will launch on 12 September and will be moved to our ‘Artist’s Booth’ on the eve of Culture Night (22 September).

About The Artist’s Booth:

A small exhibition space (150x150cm, i.e 3 sq. meters) we are launching on Culture Night 2023 which will be available to artists based on an application process.

• ‘The Refugee’s Armour’, Miriam McConnon’s long-awaited solo show which will officially open on 24 September but which will be also available to preview as part of Culture Night 2023.
