'The Plants We Played With', Yanny Petters's painting enters the collection of The National Gallery of Ireland

Olivier Cornet Gallery artist Yanny Petters created this exquisite work for 'Hopscotch', a show on childhood memories and children's games which we first presented at VUE Art Fair 2015. The piece was then selected by the National Gallery of Ireland in 2020 for inclusion in their group show 'Drawn from Nature: Irish Botanical Art', a beautiful exhibition curated by Patricia Butler (guest curator), assisted by Janet McLean (National Gallery of Ireland).

The acquisition of this sumptuous work by The National Gallery of Ireland comes only a few weeks after The National Museum of Ireland purchased 'Hand Fan for Habitats' (a verre églomisé piece) for their permanent collection. A great honour for the artist -and her gallery- to have two works now included in these prestigious public collections.
