3rd September 2026 – Exhibition

Solomon Fine Art is delighted to host an exhibition of new works by one of Ireland’s most celebrated living sculptors, John Behan.

In this exhibition of recent bronze sculpture, Behan continues to observe and explore themes of emigration and the displacement of people through the lens of Irish history, mythology and literature. Alongside scenes and imagery which reflect the plight of present-day refugees and victims of war, Behan has also created new iterations of his now-iconic famine ships and oar boats representing Ireland’s history of migration. The exhibition will also include several of the artist’s signature bulls among a range of mythologised beasts and birds inspired by Irish history and literature.
