The Horse and The Rider, Fergus Feehily

Fergus Feehily's new artist’s book, The Horse and The Rider, brings together many reflections on thinking about and experiencing art, and alternative ways of seeing and understanding artistic values. The artist's self-reflective writing moves between disciplines, chronologies and geographies.

This pocket-sized volume collapses worlds of understanding by linking Ursula K. Le Guin and Napalm Death’s expositions of truth, and the cosmic universality of Giorgio Morandi’s paintings. Elsewhere, Sun Ra’s abandonment of knowing is related to the lost meaning of ancient Irish artefacts such as the Corleck Head carved stone.

The Horse and The Rider is published as part of Fergus Feehily’s exhibition, Fortune House at Temple Bar Gallery + Studios, December 2024 – February 2025. All profits go to Dublin Simon Community.
