Event Details
LaiSun Keane is pleased to announce our participation in Gallery Hang, a pop up exhibition concept organized by Graffito SP. On view from June 6 through June 21, 2026, the gallery will present a solo exhibition of paintings by Boston artist Jordan McGirk. Participating galleries also include Robert Klein Gallery, Caira Edition, Praise Shadows Gallery, and Steve Zevitas Gallery.
Gallery Hang will take place at Wayland Town Center, 57 Andrew Avenue, Wayland, Massachusetts 01778.
The Opening Reception is on Saturday, June 6, from 5 to 7 pm and the space will be open to the public on Saturdays and Sundays, June 6 and 7, June 13 and 14, and June 20 and 21, from 12 to 5 pm.
In our solo presentation titled Power Play, Jordan McGirk places characters from Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers within densely painted forests that at times verge on abstraction through thick impasto and layered surfaces. Drawing from the inspirations of a long running television series that shaped many millennials in the 1990s and early 2000s, McGirk examines ideas of American masculinity, cultural appropriation, camp, cosplay, and the performative nature of heroism. Through memory and nostalgia, the paintings reflect on his childhood before the presence of social media while reconsidering familiar narratives of good and evil.
Jordan McGirk is an artist working in Boston, Massachusetts. He received his BFA in Studio Art with a concentration in painting from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and his MFA in Visual Art from Washington University in St. Louis. McGirk’s work explores and critiques images of Western hypermasculinity, escapism, and the failing Anthropocene.
McGirk has exhibited work nationally, including at Amos Eno Gallery in New York, Waterloo Arts Gallery in Ohio, AVC Gallery in California, Hamiltonian Gallery in Washington, D.C., Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum in St. Louis, MO, the St. Louis Lambert International Airport, and Houska Gallery in St. Louis.
