We are pleased to present Jordan McGirk’s first solo exhibition with our gallery to be held in a pop up concept located in Wayland Town Center.
Jordan McGirk: Power Play
June 6-21, 2026
📍Gallery Hang, 57 Andrew Ave Wayland, MA 01778
🔔 Opening Reception: Saturday June 6, 5pm -7pm
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.

Public hours are June 6, 7, 13, 14, 20 & 21, 12pm- 5pm.
