Flâneries in Forests and Fields


Wildflowers

In Dublin? Why not visit the Olivier Cornet Gallery and see the beautiful group show 'Flâneries in forests and fields'
featuring works by 
Hugh Cummins, Mark Doherty, Michelle Dunne,
John Fizsimons, Jordi Forniés, Conrad Frankel,
Daniel Lipstein, Jason Lowe, Seán Mulcahy,
Yanny Petters and Adrienne Symes.

The artist Yanny Petters Verre Églomisé panels entranced me. Yanny's aim, within her work, is to 'draw attention to the lesser plants, which are often considered to be weeds. Wild plants are an essential plant of the symbiosis of the earth, giving humanity the basis for medicine, food, dyes and garden flowers as well as many other uses.' 1

The glowing colours of Conrad Frankel's 'The sea road' reminded me of the beauty of Monet's creations.
