Upcoming Exhibitions

Cody McEvoy
Rectify Her/Regulate Her
July 4th - August 29th 2026

The Presentation Arts Centre is proud to present Rectify Her/Regulate Her, a new solo exhibition by visual artist Cody McEvoy, opening on Saturday July 4th at 6pm. All are welcome to the launch, with refreshments provided.

Cody McEvoy is the current artist in residence at The Presentation Arts Centre, and she works from a collection of archived footage, film, and photographs depicting her lived experiences.

The Wexford based painter has a specific gaze on motorcycles as a topic, referring to and fed by her family and upbringing. Coming from a family of bikers, her work explores themes of gender, growth, and trauma. 

Cody began using oil paint during her time in the BA(Hons) Art course at South East Technological University, and continues to operate within this medium.

Her paintings utilise bold blocks of colour, paired with precise and faithful renditions of motorcycles that have passed through her family. Each painting embodies this obsession with motorcycles, and she has come to see them as quasi-human objects, and her studio focus questions the male-presumption so commonly associated with motorcycle riders.

This exhibition runs as part of The Presentation Arts Centre Artist In Residency Programme, kindly supported by County Wexford Arts Office + Wexford Arts Centre with curatorial support by Lisa Byrne.

"An interesting local gallery bringing an eclectic range of emerging and established artists to their annual open exhibition."
