Conrad Frankel's new show Spring Opens Forever In Eternity launches at Olivier Cornet Gallery
"Everything is cyclical, and nothing ever lands. We go from winter to spring just like that..."
The Olivier Cornet Gallery is delighted to present
Spring
Opens
Forever
In
Eternity
Conrad Frankel's new solo show.
This exhibition marks the artist's return to still life paintings. In 2018, when reviewing the artist's solo show 'Road Trip' for The Irish Times, art critic Aidan Dunne stated that 'Frankel’s landscapes are modest, considered, beautifully judged and classical.' Later that year, the same art critic included the show in his round-up of the best exhibitions of 2018. The same balanced comment could be made of this sumptuous series of new oil paintings on linen laid out on board.
"...Everything is cyclical, and nothing ever lands. We go from winter to spring just like that, in a slow flow, around, again and again.For these last few years things have felt like winter to me. Covid, then the wars began, and all was sprinkled with a sense of unreality: there was nothing to grip onto for sure, like the side of a boat that admits no one from a turbulent dark sea..."
For more information and to read the artist's full statement on his new body of work, please visit the Spring Opens Forever In Eternity exhibition page. The show also features in our 3D Virtual Space hosted by Kunstmatrix.
All welcome to the opening at 6:30 pm on Thursday 15 May 2025. We are delighted to announce that the exhibition will be launched by the architect Joerg J. Berchtold.
