Artist Spotlight: Cody McEvoy 🏍️

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.

Come see Cody's work for yourself on Sat July 4th at 6pm, when we'll be launching her first ever solo exhibition. All are welcome to the launch! 🥂

The Presentation Arts Centre Artist Residency Programme is kindly supported by County Wexford Arts Office + Wexford Arts Centre with curatorial support by Lisa Byrne.

𝘉𝘢𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦 🌙

Created by and now showing in our 9th Annual Open Call Exhibition in Enniscorthy, this gorgeous doll frozen in dance is full of intricate details and allegories, including an excerpt from a tiny diary, bookmarked by a single flower:

"30th March 2026
Last night, I stayed home.
My parents had a client meeting dinner, and I didn't want to see anyone. The apartment block was very quiet, even Maria's dog upstairs wasn't barking like it normally would.
I peeked out my window, and the night air was cool. I deduced to go up to the rooftop.
No-one goes up here besides hanging wet laundry during the day. The moonlight made the concrete floor glisten.

I had the sudden urge to dance!"
