'Waiting' by Olivier Cornet Gallery artist Eoin Mac Lochlainn

'Waiting' also featured in our touring exhibition 'A Terrible Beauty' when it was shown in the Octagonal Room, City Assembly House, Dublin, in February-March 2015, by kind invitation of the Irish Georgian Society. The exhibition was an artists' response/reaction to the photographic work that François Bost carried out during the Battle of the Somme. Bost, Olivier Cornet's great grand uncle, served as a photographer in the French army during WW1. 

The Dublin artist included this painting in his Covid Eyes project, a temporary art project for the period of the Coronavirus pandemic, a project grant aided by the Arts Council of Ireland. This painting was included in the artist's solo show 'Covid Eyes' at the Olivier Cornet Gallery (October 2020).

Last but not least, Waiting also featured in our 10-year anniversary group show '2012-2022, a decade of exhibitions at the Olivier Cornet Gallery'.

We would love for this painting to join the collection of an embassy in Europe, a film buff or a film institute, but it would look great in any collection. Come and have a look at it at the gallery.
