Abigail McGinley Grand National Winner of ‘89, 2026, Oil on linen, 77 x 89 cm. _ Horse Girl Alice Brasser, Laura Benson, Abigail Mcginley, Jane Mechner, Sofia Serpa Arango and Nana Wolke This exhibition looks at both the symbolic meaning in the Chinese calendar and the contemporary rhetoric around the socio-political realities of the aspirational ‘horse girl’. Taking inspiration from the cultural zeitgeist’s seeming obsession with horses, the artists look at both the raising of a call of arms for us to charge after what we want, and be who we are in ‘The Year of the Horse’, and the nuanced connotations of being a ‘horse girl’ that pervade the current art world. Contact Sales@sohorevue.com for more information or to request a works list. — 10 June - 31 July Soho Revue 14 Greek Street London, W1D 4DP Wed—Sat, 12—6pm

‘The leading horse is white’ by Abigail McGinley, currently on display at The Florence Trust in Angel as part of her two-person exhibition ‘All That’s Left Behind’ w. Zachary Merle, which continues until March 7th. “In this duo exhibition, a shared thread emerges when two distinct visual languages collide. Pictorial foundations become unfastened, gestures leak and pool into one another, repeated images dissolve into feeling, and the flickering shadow of a half-forgotten memory resurfaces. Meaning is neither fixed nor resolved, but allowed to hover — fragile, partial, and in-flux. Working in their respective practices, Merle and McGinley are united by an abdication of certainty. Their works resist clarity in favour of restlessness, embracing ambiguity as both method and subject. Within this state of disquiet, moments of quietude are found — spaces where disclosure and concealment coexist. Together, Merle and McGinley offer a meditation on uncertainty, memory, and the instability of perception. All That’s Left Behind lingers in the space between what is remembered and what is imagined, asking what remains when clarity dissolves. Abigail McGinley (b.1999, UK) is a London-based painter whose practice centres on painting as a space of inquiry — a site where gesture, material, and thought converge. Each work functions as part of an evolving visual language, spanning painting, drawing, and writing. Her work explores the tension between concealment and revelation, often using the body as a framework for sensorial and conceptual reflection. She describes this dynamic as a parasite/host relationship: a metaphor for painting itself, oscillating between control and surrender, solitude and encounter.” - The Florence Trust

𝗔𝗥𝗧𝗜𝗦𝗧 𝗦𝗣𝗢𝗧𝗟𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 𝗭𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗠𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗲 (b. 1997, UK) is a London-based artist whose practice examines how personal memory and identity are shaped, fractured, and rewritten through daily encounters with imagery. Living with epilepsy has produced false and unreliable memories — moments that distort, vanish, or mutate upon recall. His work is not concerned with preserving the past, but with exposing the cracks where identity slips away. Through image-transfer, paint, and sculptural interventions, Merle constructs layered, unstable surfaces that reject fixed narratives in favour of obscurity and erosion.

Morgane speaks to artists Abigail McGinley & Zachary Merle over a cup of English Breakfast tea with oat milk surrounded by their duo-exhibition ‘𝘈𝘭𝘭 𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵’𝘴 𝘓𝘦𝘧𝘵 𝘉𝘦𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘥’ at The Florence Trust (@florencetrust) in London, February 2026. The exhibition runs until Saturday, 7th March 2026. The opening hours are Wednesday to Saturday from 12pm - 6pm. In this duo exhibition, a shared thread emerges when two distinct visual languages collide.
