“Horse Show”
July 2nd – 15th, 2026
Opening Wednesday July 1st, 7-9pm
Ana Goodman, Feá McCoy, Johnny McMahon, Seán Freeney, Grace Wallis.
“Horse Show” presents new works by five artists in Limerick city, current and/or past students of Limerick School of Art and Design (2022–2026). Including paintings, photographs, prints and video, the works share an obvious common theme: horses and the imaginary. The works are loaded with humorous and heartfelt references, qualities distinct to this group of artists. Figurative oil paintings are imagined as counterparts to folk and blues songs. Symbolic objects are presented to us with ambiguity and mysticism. Horses may be the subject and prompt, but the artist's observations have become fragmented and romanticised as they are re-told.
We are very excited to be opening our new temporary space with this exhibition. STARLING is for now located on the corner of Roches and Allen St, through the red double doors on Allen St. We will be here till the end of summer.
