Yanny Petters's long feature in the Spring 2025 edition of the Irish Arts Review Magazine

"Floating in mid-air, yet anchored to the ground through botanical detail, clear glass provides the see-through ground for Yanny Petters’ work. Glass is a means to elucidate the space between, where air and light sing. Petters’ images are suspended in space, yet connected to the earth, so that her viewers see her world as a butterfly or mayfly might. Yet her creative intention is far more focused than it may at first appear. Petters’ upbringing, amid the wild greenery of her Co Wicklow home, with parents who were sensitive to climate change and deeply committed to teaching her to appreciate nature, led her on a journey towards the art of quiet activism on behalf of the natural world..."

The Olivier Cornet Gallery is delighted to announce that the Spring 2025 edition of the Irish Arts Review Magazine features a long article about Yanny Petters's verre églomisé (reverse-glass painting) practice.

Dr Éimear O'Connor, Director of Collections and Access with The National Museum of Ireland, Dublin, wrote this beautiful survey of the artist's technique and intentions. The 6-page article, titled 'Art of glass', is beautifully illustrated and some of the works are still available here at the gallery.

This important review of Yanny Petters's work is a long-awaited recognition of her place in contemporary Irish art and a huge honour for the artist herself and her gallery who have been working together since 2003.
