7th November 2025 – Exhibition

The Olivier Cornet Gallery is delighted to present ‘Ode to Giants’,

A group show which we are excited to launch for Dublin Gallery Weekend 2025.

Artists have been asked to respond to their favourite artworks from three Dublin museums: IMMA, The National Gallery of Ireland and The National Museum of Ireland. The show will constitute an eclectic assemble of tributes to old masters and more contemporary icons: Titian, Caravaggio, Vermeer, Harry Clarke, Paul Henry, Jack B. Yeats, Mainie Jellet, Eileen Gray, Sol LeWitt, Patrick Scott, Willie Doherty, Gillian Wearing and Joseph Walsh.

The exhibition constitutes a celebration of Irish heritage and contemporary art and -we hope- an accessible way for new audiences to connect with these artistic giants through fresh, contemporary interpretations. ‘Ode to Giants’, promises to be a highlight of Dublin Gallery Weekend 2025 for both seasoned art lovers and newcomers alike.

Artists: Annika Berglund, Hugh Cummins, Mary A. Fitzgerald, David Fox, Conrad Frankel, Nickie Hayden, Eoin Mac Lochlainn, Miriam McConnon, Sheila Naughton, Bart O’Reilly, Yanny Petters, Kelly Ratchford and Vicky Smith.
