The Olivier Cornet Gallery is delighted to welcome Brad Gray, Claire Halpin, Miriam McConnon, and Freda Rupp, who have all recently joined the gallery.

‘Effleurement’, a beautiful French word, first referred to the gentleness required to remove a flower from its stem. Its modern usage alludes to delicacy in touch: whether subtle strokes of a brush on canvas or light incisions on clay, each of our four new artists manages to impart deep impressions with minimal manipulation of the surface of their materials.

‘Effleurements’ brings together works by Brad Gray, Claire Halpin, Miriam McConnon, and Freda Rupp for a group exhibition curated by gallery owner Olivier Cornet with the assistance of Antonio Gallo and Hazel Shaw.
